What one values in a motorcycle is totally subjective isnt it? Is there a standard process for judging a motorcycle?

Subjective, absolutely yes! But you wouldn’t judge a Tiger with its cornering ability or a race replica with its off road prowess. The point that I was trying to make is this is a street bike and those are usually tuned to give better midrange over peak power figures. A great way to see it is the dyno chart to judge how it might ride if you can’t test drive. Best way to judge is always via a ride.
