In quite a few cases, it does. The majority of those kinds of posts are because someone didn't want to fork over the cash for a supersport up front but want a supersport bike. In order to get there, however, they just end up reaching around their ass to touch their elbow. Then they get all pissed because of all the money they had to put into it to make it do what they wanted in the first place. I guess I'm in the minority because I went to the SV because I knew what it was performance-wise.

Agree, disagree, whatever.

I agree to a point. It is like someone putting $20k in to a $5k Civic for 1/4 mile times. I suspect there are similarities between the two since people often start with the Civic/SV because that is what their parents would allow, what was affordable to insure, the amount they could get financed, or some other reason. None of it makes a whole lot of sense to me. Ultimately though that doesn't matter as long as it makes some sense to them.
