Have you considered the fact a motorcycle is a pure pleasure item?  There is
no requirement to be practical or the "best design" but how an individual
feels about his/her machine.  I love the old bikes, R60US, R60S, R90S, R100S
and the latest in my stable the R1150RT.  I even have a Norton 750
Commander.  Talk about being behind the power curve in technology!  The
marketing guys at BMW hit the nail on the head when they came up with the
RT.  When I say they hit the nail on the head it was for what I wanted.  I
am a MSF instructor and tell my students all the time the "best" motorcycle
in the world is the one you have the keys in your pocket and a full tank of
gas.  If the latest, greatest, most reliable, high HP output, fastest, easy
to maintain was a criteria for the motorcycle community, a Harley would only
exist in the museum.

There is no such thing as a bad motorcycle, some are just better than
others.  What makes a motorcycle good is a personal thing and can only be
explained through passion.  If you must ask you will never understand!
