Huh? Dean said performance cars ARE remotely comfortable on the street. They're nothing like a sport bike in that regard. But mostly sports cars nothing like sport bikes because if someone in an SUV on their cell phone pulls out in front of your sports car, you can probably turn or stop to avoid them, and if you don't, you're not a splatter on the side of the road.
Bikes are fast, no doubt, but they only go fast, they don't stop or turn fast. I've got my M license, but I'll never ride a bike on the street. Maybe on the track or trail... but the street is not a place for a 200mph crotch rocket if you enjoy a reasonably safe life. If you've got a death wish... go have fun! At least bikes only tend to kill the rider, not the cager that causes the accident.
