I’ve done some track time on a few high-performance road bikes lately, and it’s been an interesting experience. I’m talking about four-cylinder, litre-class sports bikes, and even in that category I’ve been lucky enough to ride some seriously high-powered, high-performance examples.
It’s interesting because these are road-registerable bikes I’m talking about.
Any mug can walk into the shop, whack some cash on the counter and ride away on one.
There’s a direct comparison to big adventure bikes. Seriously, how many people can honestly make the most of the performance offered by the big adventure bikes? Not me, that’s for sure.
