Automotive Landscape Best Point is now?

I see the same in the bike-scape. I catch myself looking at GXSR fork swaps, brake upgrades, etc on the SV. While I know that the bike is there in my life currently to learn and improve, but some of your modern day 600's have some amazing technology that there really isn't much need to rework suspension, ECU, etc. I have to remind myself this as I know whatever bike I get next is already by default going to have a significant improvements in suspension, brakes, power. I think most of the modern bikes today you can slap on a slip-on and it's ready to roll.

There's a lot to be said about some of the cars DJ mentioned above. Shit the new M2 competition looks downright nuts.

Bike tech is kinda going in a weird direction now.  Due to emissions and the bloodbath that happened after the 2008 financial crisis, the 600 class is dying.  So while all of those bikes are very, very good, they're not getting developed actively.  Smaller supersports may be reborn in the 300-400 cc class.  With literbikes all sorts of tech innovation around traction control and ABS is happening, along with power still going up.  The electronics on the new literbikes is simply stupendous, to the point that literbikes are pretty easy to ride if your brain can process ludicrous speed properly.

And by 600s I meant literbikes. You totally right G. I really do hope we see a resurgence in the sub 400cc class and people start riding/commuting more to alleviate congestion, but that's a whole other topic..
