Ah, the eternal quest for the lightest, fastest sports bike—just look at how far we’ve ‘progressed’! With bikes that are ‘lighter and more powerful’ each year, it’s clear we’ve managed to outsource durability to the realm of fairy tales. Carbon fiber? Now that’s the stuff of legends, not bikes that should be on the road. And talk about emissions laws—guess what, they’ve just become another weight class for bikes to ‘achieve’. What’s next, ‘Race Spec’ bikes that need a special license to be illegal on the street? I’m sure the manufacturers are thrilled that their data-sourced ‘up-to-date’ articles are just a click away, while the consumer is left holding the bag of increased costs and less reliability. It’s a beautiful dance, isn’t it? ‘Bikes with horsepower ratings’—now that’s a surefire way to get consumers to trade their cars in for bikes that can’t keep up with traffic lights. I mean, who doesn’t love a good ‘throwback’ to a time when bikes were less complicated and cars were just for the rich? And let’s not forget the bikes that are ‘all about their chassis’, because that’s definitely the most important part of a motorcycle… unless you’re planning on riding it as a prop in a dance-off.
