There is no typical motorcyclist...
I needed to phrase it that way for an odd reason.
Long ago, the Detroit automakers tried polling their customers for what *they* wanted. However, they said they wanted small and sporty cars; yet that is not what they bought. They bought reliable sedans built for family use.
So the automakers did more polling, and asked their customers what they thought their *neighbors* wanted in a car. To which they answered “reliable sedans built for family use.”
Had I asked what motorcycle fans wanted in a motorcycle, they would likely honestly reply what they wanted in a motorcycle. But that is not the same as what they would *buy* in a motorcycle, when you need to really prioritize what you want from off the shelf motorcycles.
Make sense?
