100% not that. He dailys the little bike when he used to daily the big one. Ive riden the big one before, it makes more then 10 times the bakers dozen of horsepower the little one does. Still is beyond me why he likes the thing so much

Your brother has probably mellowed out a bit, sometimes it a pleasure to take it easy rather belting around on a bigger machine.
Sometimes I find it a pleasure just to jump in my smaller less powerful car and plod around the streets.

The funny thing was, after i bought the thing, cleaned it up and whatnot, my brother took it on a sunday ride with his riding mates as one of his mates daughters who was on her L's was coming along so they changed route to nothing above 80kph roads. His riding mates before seeing the thing were teasing him (well me to him) about it. But, when they saw it and found out that it was $1500 with 12 months rego and 21k on the odo reckoned it was the buy of the century.
Anyhows, weeks later my brother tells me he had someone offer 3k to buy it. Did he call me at the time, nope. I would easily have said yes. Then not long after he bought it off me. I had done my Ps on it so was done with bikes so whatever. I was thinking he would sell it at a profit but no. He rides it. To be fair, for comuting its fine. 130kgs with a full tank of fuel. 300-400km range out of that 10L depending on how you ride it. 0-100 in about 15 seconds on a down hill with a tail wind, so any form of speeding is active speeding. Top speed, well, 100 is a push, not like the z1000 that does 130 in 1st.....

Why is it that apparent means clearly visible or understood and obvious, but apparently means that something seems to be true, but may not be?

Same reason i guess news reporters say stuff like the victim was allegedly shot/stabbed or whatever when that term means an accusation with no formal proof. Pretty sure gunshot or stab wounds means the victim was infact shot or stabbed....
