I agree with this point of view.
I've owned a number of Jap bikes and they are all good - but....
They seem to lack that raw edge that you get with the 916 and 996 ( I have not owned a 998 so cannot compare).
I have also found this with some sports cars.
About three years ago I traded my super fast and boring Toyota Supra in for a TVR Chimaera. Now these cars do have an edge too. While you can pay a price for ownership believe me it's well worth it - in fact my car has never missed a beat since I purchased it.
To be fair you pays ya money and takes yer chance!
