Poor camparison, Superbike championship and the TT etc use the frame and engine (and quite a few other bits too). A stock bike in the right hands can get reasonably close to their lap times, and one with light mods (say, €1000 extra and a bit of elbow grease) can be halfway between the two.

That’s the one.
It’s all just horseshit, if you want a motorbike with character, get a classic one. Hell, even my '82 Montesa manages to be reliable, yet has character out the wazoo.

Learn how to do bicycle maintenance and find a good second hand bike that needs a little love.
I have a Giant hard tail that was €1200 new, but I got it used for about €100. Serviced the brakes, put on a new chain, cleaned/oiled/greased everything mechanical and it’s like a new bike.

Superbike championships use road bikes with a change of fairings and upgrades to things like exhaust, brakes, and suspension.
Hell, Isle Of Man TT lightweight class has used stuff like the ER6f as a base which is a budget commuter bike, lol
A halo model super sport is basically a street legal race bike.

Yeah, nah, Ducatis are like the carbon road bikes of the motorcycle world - all about dick waving. A little while back one of the larger YouTube channels took the latest Ducati to a track and put it up against a cheap 7 year old Suzuki, and the Suzuki was still faster … and if you buy a Japanese sport bike it’s not going to have the mechanical problems of a Ducati either.
Source: I have owned, ridden, repaired and raced a lot of motorbikes, including some fast-ish ones.

Yeah, I got a basic reader about 10 years ago, for what would be €20 in today’s money. It’s saved me hundreds.
Only problem is motorbikes don’t have standard ODB2 ports so I have no idea why the light is on on my little 125 :-/

Flip side? Uhura is fucking awesome and inspired my mum (now 86) to become a lifelong Trek fan. I’m also a lifelong fan, and I’ve been able to introduce it to my wife, who is also a fan now.
In summary, there’s plenty of Trek fans who aren’t straight white cisgendered men, and the number of toxic morons in this cohort feels much much less than in just about any other mainstream fandom.
- Comment on Nissan to go all-electric by 2030 despite petrol ban delay 1 year ago:
Belgiums looking good there!
It’s good to see that there’s a few other countries going for it too, I guess there’s large parts of the world where it’s going to be near impossible though due to distances and lack of electricity (until solar cars are cheap and plentiful, but we might have all perished by then, lol)
- Comment on Nissan to go all-electric by 2030 despite petrol ban delay 1 year ago:
However Nissan do have R&D and manufacturing facilities in the UK, so the law would affect them directly … also, outside the EU has anyone else proposed a set date to end ICE car sales?

- Comment on My Review of Hair (1979) 1 year ago:
Brain fart, I was thinking of Easy Rider because it features the song Born to be Wild prominently!
Vanishing Point is pretty out-there, they cut a scene where the protagonist sleeps with an angel for example, but it does have a lot of metaphors in regards to freedom from oneself vs freedom from outside forces
- Comment on My Review of Hair (1979) 1 year ago:
It’s always nice to see people finding positivity in art and wanting to share it :-)
For film deconstructions of the effects of the summer of love, how do you view Born to be Wild and Vanishing Point?
