If you show up on that, you better be fast. It’s nothing worse than seeing a slow rider on a bike like that.

It's a double-edged sword. You'd get attention, but you'd also be under a lot of pressure to live up to the reputation of the bike.

Who cares about cred? If it makes you happy and you can afford it, then go for it. You can't waste your life worrying about what other people think.
Could the average rider even take the RC213V-S's performance?

Modern electronics allow average riders to deal with big power. It's not about how fast you go; it's about how usable the power is.

It's definitely a look at the future. After a decade, a lot of that tech will be in regular production bikes.
