Good point, and everyone should vote the way they please. I understand perfectly, especially since performance has been so democratized in the motorcycling world. Sure, we've got hyperexotics like the Panigale Superleggera, but you can get maybe 90% of the performance in a relatively affordable Japanese supersport. And the presence of said Japanese supersports (or even supernakeds) makes a 205kg/450lb bike with less than 80hp and a $20+k price tag impossible to justify.

Still, if I see one of these Nortons on the road or at some motorcyclist hang out, I'll just immediately, instinctively think it's awesome.
