This is not the same thing. I would understand this to be the case if someone also included the R in the decals but if not, then it's not the same. Mine for example just says 1199 panigale on the side fairings. Nothing about says R. Plus, a stupid decal kit doesn't differentiate between the models. Only a non enthusiast would assume it's an R. Anyone who knows about bikes would know it's just a visual enhancement, just like a bunch of my own mods.
Just because someone puts an amg or m body kit on their lower model cars doesn't mean it's poser like. The amg and m badge though, now that looks poser like. Like i said, if i wanted an R, it certainly isn't because of the decals. I woulda just got one. With all the mods on my bike, my base bike costs more than an R. I just enjoy customizing my cars n bikes much more than anything else.
This argument is pretty ridiculous. If i don't see any R badges, then it's far from poser like.
