I don't think anyone will argue SS are better bikes, I mean after all that is what you are paying for a better bike, but that still doesn't make all those better bits "necessary" for daily public use.

because 140mph on public roads is necessary?

I don't think at any point during my commute or even spirited riding on the 250 do I ever think...
"you know what despite being able to do +35 on the highest speed limit in the state and having to get on the brakes pretty hard to make some turns what I really need is more power."
Makes perfect sense
