No tsk-tsk here, as I like to go fast on one of my scoots or in the Vette, on occasion,
but always on some deserted azz road; if I lose it and crash, it is just me, not a van full
of night shift people waddling down the road.
And, every brand is making kick azz sport bikes these days, imo.

Not condoning this sort of behaviour at all. I'd ridden (and raced in my younger days) bikes for 40 years and this is not the secret to a long life for either yourself, or anyone else on the road for that matter.
And just a note on the S1000RR vs the other hi-po sports bikes. In its debut year in the FIM's Superstock 1000 class (essentially a production bike class that is run in conjunction with the FIM's World Superbike Championship), the S1000RR has won four from four rounds and BMW leads both the riders and the manufacturers championship which includes all the big players - the four Japanese manufacturers + Ducati and Aprilia.
