On powerful bikes, just a few millimetres of grip twist provides a huge amount of accelleration/decelleration. It's not the big kind of twist that you do with a boat outboard engine, but a small movement. I can't think of any time in all my bike riding when I've inadvertently 'given it the nuts'.
There's something particularly Teutonic about that thing with the turn signal switches. It's the same with how Mercedes always try and keep their car switches and buttons in the same position, and with the same design.
I suppose the psychology is, we make the best machines, so why would you ever want to buy anything else. If you only ever drove a Merc or a Beemer, why would it bother you?
