SINGAPORE - It is one thing to ride a sports bike at a circuit, where you accelerate at breakneck speeds, redline before each gear change and feel your knee pucks graze the tarmac around bends.
But it is another thing to ride a sports bike daily. The uncomfortable nose-down riding posture and the engine heat build-up in Singapore's stop-start traffic will discourage many from taking the sports bike route.
