sorry man, you're coming off as very judgemental. just because someone buys any kind of moto and doesn't ride it the way you do/want them to, doesn't make them any less of a bike owner than you are.
seems you're looking at this H2 from a practical view, and don't think that's why kawi built it. they did it to shake up the industry, and they succeeded. credit is deserved.
Fizzer, I think you are both right and wrong. You are saying that JK is judging these people by the fact that their bikes are basically unridable, as those of us who ride think of riding. That is true, in my opinion, he is judging them that way.
I also agree with his judgement. I personally am not into the show scene and do not understand riding a bike that cannot be ridden as I understand what riding a motorcycle is.
I also wholeheartedly agree with your statement that Kawi deserves Kudos for shaking up the industry. I really hope they are on to something.
For those who build bikes that cannot be ridden?
I do not need that. I do not want that. If I was organizing a meeting of Riders, I would want people and bikes, that RIDE!
Show bikes have their place. Cut the boulevard or strip, look hot, go home. I'm good with that, that's what those bikes were built for.
I haven't personally spoken with JK, but if I were to put it out on social media that I was looking to meet up with Riders, and the show bikes came out? That's not who I'm looking for. It's a completely different demographic and I would be personally disappointed.
