I ordered a M3W last year because it is enough of a cross-over between a bike and a car to satisfy my bike desires (hopefully), and I love the look and the feel of driving one. So as a peace offering to my SO I've decided to sell my bikes, as I wasn't really using them anyway and I'm certain we'll collectively use the M3W more frequently, either 1 or 2-up. I don't expect to tour in it - my 2014 Corvette Z51 convert (daily driver) is more than enough capable long-distance fun tourer for that purpose when needed, and is certainly the fastest most capable vehicle I've ever owned. But it doesn't feel or drive like a M3W.
I really initially wanted an early M3W, but I think the new one has all the interest of the original, while being turn-key usable. That's what initially attracted me so much to it.
As others have said, rationalizing an irrational purchase is entertaining, but ultimately silly. Drive one and see if you come back with a huge smile or not :-) You may decide you need to have both!
