The point is that people (a few anyway) want them and are prepared to pay for them.
Why does there even have to be a point?
There's no real point to anything in life, it is all entirely meaningless.

But imagine how gay you can look in your matching bike leathers whilst sitting in the sunshine with all the other matching bikers.

I like it and sounds like a great tourer. It's not about the speed but how the power is delivered when touring 2 up with luggage .

The rush, if you've ever ridden a bike at 150+ you'll know what the point is.

Yes, not my cup of tea but I can see the point - going fast. I just wish people would not do those kind of speeds on public roads (I know this guy was on a test track, I mean in general).

Probably as gay as all the groups of trad scoot meetings trying to look cool. I'm also sure I look like a tit on my Xevo but hey, I like it 8-)
