You don't have to ride like that to appreciate a shaft either. BMW's have always been known for their handling. Didn't Pridmore and Butler and Smith win some Superbike championships vs chain drive bikes with their shaft BMW? Hasn't BMW done alright off road with their GS series? FJR's are pretty good in the curves, Even Goldwings have been called 800 pound sport bikes and there's a guy in NC that outruns serious sportbikers on the Dragon with his wing. ST Hondas go pretty good in the curves. Moto Guzzi's have always been acknowledged for their good handling too.
Doesn't the Tenere' have a shaft?
