I disagree with you. As I wrote in my first post, the general mentality behind riding a cruiser and riding a sportbike is different. Riding a cruiser is more about the feeling of freedom and enjoying the scenery, sportbiking is more about adrenaline. Some people look for both, others look for one or the other.
I can only speak from my experience. I bought a sportbike because I want adrenaline. If I only cared about the freedom factor, I would have bought a cruiser - those things are 100 times more comfortable
So again, it all depends on what you want out of a bike. If I take my 636 out for a carve in the Alps because I want to get a rush, I don't feel like I'm missing out at all - on anything. Because that's what I want out of my bike.
Having said that, I'm not saying it aggressively, but your sorrow is pretty much lost on me.
