The opposite, I haven't ridden a sportsbike, it hasn't suited my "needs". Took the Aprilia Tuono for a ride last week - no comments other than the gearbox, but the Aprilia is beyond words. Having said that, the R3 Roadster has done all that I've asked for - 5 years and 64,000 klms, ........... but I've missed out on a lot over the time I've owned it - A lot!!!
