Riding within their comfort level is one thing, but buying a 172hp liter bike is certainly outside the comfort level of someone who can't scrub off their 2inch chicken strips.
My wife certainly doesnt have poor body position and certainly doesnt have inappropriate lean angles when she rides on the street. Yet she doesnt have no where near the chicken strips those bikes do. Maybe it's because she did her advanced rider training at the track....

I am by no means a "Squid". I bought my S1000RR for many reasons, but none of them were to "Show Off". For the record, I have always been the humble, modest type so it is not my nature to be that guy to brag about what i have or own.
That being said, lets talk about your theory on Chicken Strips. I have been stationed in NC before, so I can understand how driving/riding on those beautiful, smooth, winding, wide open 65-75 MPH roads can encourage someone to burn off their Chicken Strips early in the life of a bike.
Where I live now, the roads are almost always packed with slow moving cars, potholes and drivers who prefer to text, apply makeup, play with their kids in the back seat... i can go on... so the opportunity to burn off Chicken Strips doesn't come as often for me as it does for you.
The point I am trying to make is, there is nothing wrong with getting rid of the Chicken Strips, just don't make a rider feel less that worthy because they might have some. let them burn them off when they are comfortable with doing so. teasing a novice rider about being well, a novice... will only end bad if and when that novice rider succumbs to peer pressure
