If they had known in 1968, that today we'd have a selection of 200 HP street bikes to choose from, would they have coined the phrase " superbike" for the 68 HP Honda CB 750?Beside, that this is just marketing speach, I think, all quality terms can only be stated for just a specific point in time. This applies not only to 'ultimate', but also to just 'good'. What is good today, there will be better in future by pretty fat chance (in terms of technology).
Do have to wonder where it will end.
That's the reason I hate to see manufacturers using the term " ultimate" as in this is the " ultimate" sport tourer. NO it's not. In 3 or 5 years something better will come along, so that one obviously wasn't the ultimate.
