Quid, you haven't made a decision yet have you? I'd pick whatever this distilled mental illness is 😇

Sadly Ducati made the decision for me when they started putting wings on the Panigale V4 thereby ruining its inherent Italian beauty. Against the advice of extremely passive aggressive goons who know what I want better than I do I'm probably going with the Honda

I feel like you haven't fully considered how wrong you are according to some Hikikomori on the internet who probably knows a lot about Japanese motorcycles, friend.

My friend bought one mostly to piss me off with my dinky rear end KTM. He took it out once, opened the throttle and it scared him so much he hasn't ridden it since except back to the dealer for recalls lmao

I'm just glad I asked specifically for feedback on the model I am like 99% gonna buy unless the cams explode or something and got corrected that I'm buying the wrong bike and don't know what I'm talking about. God bless the goon Greek chorus

I mean if you get splatted at 160mph or 190mph around the IoM it's not like you're going to be there to brag about how fast you were going when you turned your leathers into a trashbag of human remains.

I just clicked that article and the first thing they mention is that he's 52 and regularly races the Macau Grand Prix and IoM TT. Either the dude already had a ton of brain damage and the final gristled chunk left finally gave up while he was on the bike or the universe just sort of self corrected some long overdue Darwin-esque karma on the dude.

I was actually at the TT for the public ride in 2019; I met a crazy number of people in their 50s and 60s who were just like "I've lived an awesome life - if I've got to check out early this is how and where I want it to happen."

If it was an instant death, I could understand. But having a motorcycle wreck and not dying immediately is possibly one of the worst ways to go that I can imagine.

I mean, it wasn't conceived yesterday. it's wild to think it can still be allowed, and there's a reason it left the World Championship (now MotoGP) calendar in the 1970s, and even then people didn't want to race there. it's motorcycling's Nurburgring but even less safe.
