Obviously. We differ in opinion. Lets leave it at that.
Just to be clear, BB30 is ubiquitous in the industry. It is the industry standard among all top bike makers...or virtually all.
As the voice of the industry I side with them. Yes, as BillyD said, to each his own of course.
A man walks into a Porsche dealer. Buys what he thought was the car of his dreams. It had a transmission problem. The man thought, he paid $80K for a car and he had owned 20 cars and never had a transmission problem before. His conclusion is Porsche's are junk. Reality is Porsche's are among the best production sportscars in the world.
