Have you been living under a rock?

I withdraw into my shell sometimes but never under a rock.

Recession, mortgage rates, pay claims etc etc.... but I can't say Ive noticed a particular lack of sports bikes on the road in general on my travels so wondered why forum rideouts might be different.

Rare to see a sports bike under someone who's been riding Ffs more than 2 years these days. Used to be that it was mainly the race reps out and about, as tech has improved and the influx of nakeds that actually perform, handle and look nice the race rep seems to be heading track wise.

Just Google 'decline of sportbikes' and all will be revealed.. But honestly I'm surprised you hadn't noticed.

I consider myself edumacated guys.

Tbh never been that 'into' sports bikes and I haven't followed any of the biking press for years.... my excuses for the ignorance
