Yup and it wasn't that long age that I was thrilled to have a phone the size of a brick that only made phone calls. That's what's great about technology. You don't even know about stuff today you will not be able to live without in 10 years. Like 300hp bikes. 8)

and yet rider skill and suspension will always still trump mad HP, although I love that KTM bike ;D
