Re: Too fast?
I had a Triumph 955i Daytona a few years ago that I ended up selling because it was too fast for me.
Whenever I took it out I used to thrash it through the gears etc. until one day, racing an M3 BMW,I thought to myself "what am I doing?, I'm going to kill myself at this rate", so sold the bike & bought a tourer instead. I've steadily started to ride slower due to age & self preservation.
Most sports bikes today are built for racing "Win on Sunday, sales on Monday". Look at Ducati, back in the day classed as an unreliable Italian bike, but now, one of the largest selling bike manufacturers
People like to have bragging rights "look at my £30,000 superbike, it does 200 mph" that has massive chicken strips because they can't ride them properly.
