I have owned 28 motorcycles in my life. I'm 79.My R3 GT is the very best and most satisfying of all. Power, comfort, good handling and excellent workmanship in the build. The constant available torque is the single best feature. I just love it!!
I'm 15,000 miles or so in on my TFC. It is the most incredible machine, a masterpiece! TFC is the R on steroids, with the addition of arrow exhausts which make it sound epic too.
I absolutely think there needs to be bikes like this, out there, and ARE "necessary". Think about if there were no such thing as "exotic sportscars". No Lamborghini's, Ferrari's McLaren's, Porsche's, etc. They just didn't exist. Even though those cars are out of most people's reach, how boring would the world be without them? The same goes for the motorcycle world. We "need" the unnecessary.
