I get off the other two bikes and I always feel like they're shrugging their shoulders and saying "That's all you got."

I'm finding as I get older, I'm actually pretty satisfied with performance of lower horsepower bikes...But I'm still gonna go ride the new RR.
Hah, I love it - I stick to my 90 hp Ducati precisely because I know that's all I've got.

I've thrown a leg over a few much newer, faster, and capable bikes in the decade that has passed since buying my Super Sport. Every time I do so, all it serves to do is confirm that I'm just not rider enough for anything more than what I've got in that old Duc. I know you, and a few others here can take advantage of these newer hyper bikes, and I admire you for it. Stay safe and have fun - I'll just have to watch from afar.
