I have to disagree with you on this one, CB HI.
I have to say it depends. For some, no. For me, I don't feel I could ride a bike like that to its potential. I don't feel I could ride a bike like that to the level that the bike is capable of.
A friend of mine has a very nice, and quite expensive, Trek. He races triathlons. I don't want a bike like his because I don't think it would be as suitable for the kind of riding I do as my old C'dale Road Warrior 500.
