Yeah, but not everyone wants a supersport. The ergos suck, if you're getting on in years. Back in the something like a G00f4/4i was a very comfortable bike. Even the older ZX-6R made for a good commuter. These days the ergos are simply too aggressive, as every manufacturer tries to out-Ducati Ducati.
Something that I would refer to as a "GT Standard" would be a great bike, for most people. sort of the 2-wheel version of a BMW touring car; good, but not earth shattering performance, in a comfortable package. I don't need horsepower. In my experience most people don't know what to do with it, anyway, and it just gets you in trouble on the street. What I want is reasonable mid-range and good suspension.
