You are correct. I think that riding different types of bikes make you overall a better street rider. My enduros and supermotos definitely helped my corner speed, leaning, and which line to use while riding. Going from a 600rr to sv650 helped me appreciate the supersport bikes and I'm glad I'm on a touring/naked now. When I started out as a noob I had to have a 600 then wanted the 1000. But now I want the odd.bikes. scooters, 400's, old cafe style bikes, the niche market of bikes that are just cool go ride because the main stream is against them. I really want a fzr250/400 or bandit 400 for my next bike. Good post.Hoblick /rant
