I am considering bikes such as CBR1000RR, R1, Super Duke, S1000RR, etc. in the under $20K range. I would like to hear your thoughts on ergonomics, even though I know they are all relatively uncomfortable, reliability, handling, dealer support, value (the total package including suspension, quick shifter, etc.), and stuff like that.
Does it have to be a 2019-2020? I would buy a 2007 Ducati 1098S Tricolore. It's the most beautiful sport bike on the planet, and more performance than I could ever use. So, of course, I would never take it to the track. But it would turn heads wherever I rode. That may not be a good thing in traffic...
