Why do people buy race-replica bikes when they don't race?

A logical conclusion might be that they want to replicate racing.

Because chicks dig 'em! That and they aren't smart enough or too cheap to buy a Buell!

The same way that some guys buy Zondas and Ferraris which don't even come close to their performance on public roads?

Would I? Yeah theres a few I wouldn't mind getting my hands on.

But then I wear Combats, German Amry shirts and all sorts of other kit from Army Surplus despite only ever being an Air Cadet

Not always the best bike for Twisties...

Suzuki do make a really ugly Sportsbike!

I gotta say, anyone who chooses a bike primarily for image, chick-factor, or to "feel cool" should have their bike taken away and replaced with a Piaggio Vespa.

Are you implying that chicks don't dig a Vespa?

I knew I should've gone for the Bergman.

You're not alone with that observation. I'm thinking, just based on many of his recent posts, that he's attempting to start some sort of dispute. Oh well...
