That's really interesting. Because of the low RPM torque and fuel consumption?

Have you ever heard a Ferrari at parking lot speeds? Aside from the fact it sounds great, there is a lot of RPM and clutch slippage going on. Kinda interesting to me that characteristics that are acceptable in an exotic, or rocket bike are deemed bad in a moderately priced sports car.
