I don't question why he wants them .... if he has the ability, why not? Why not buy a Rolls or a Lamborghini if you can afford one---despite the fact that one doesn't actually get any more comfort with the Rolls, and most will never use the Lambo withing 8/10ths of its potential ... and that only on track days at a local track?
We could all ride Walmart bikes .... but we value some "experience" which only the better bikes will give---we claim. I say it is a matter of choice .... personal preference.
