Buy a car based on logic. Buy a computer based on your needs and and features. Buy a home theater based on specifications. Buy a machine according to what you need. If you buy a machine (and Japan Inc makes great machines), that is what you will own; a machine. Nobody needs a motorcycle, everybody wants one when they buy theirs. Long story short, (and you have to own one to understand what I am saying), do not buy you motorcycle based on logic or specs, you might end up with just a machine.
