I find it's easier to be able to shelve a bike until you can fix it. My days of overnight engine fixes are long gone. I've always used my own bikes for practical transport reasons (although I've done some big tours on hire bikes). I get pleasure from riding them but don't ride them purely for pleasure. That would need to change if I was considering a rocket like the RSV!

Well in that case sounds like service intervals aren't such a big problem. Kind of liked the RSV for similar but different reasons, was agony on the wrists and lower back plus you really had to be switched on. It demanded your attention and was uncompromising, which if you can only ride for a couple of hours a fortnight ticked all the boxes.
