1.1.1 -> 1.1.2 - bugfix only, no change in what the end-user sees.
1.1.1 -> 1.2.0 - new features, perhaps a button in the UI has moved. Still fully compatible with the previous version. Documents should be stored identically, network protocols unchanged.
1.1.1 -> 2.0.0 - major release, might very well break functionality, documents may have to be converted from previous versions, UI can change drastically.

In a straight line yes, but with any kind of turns on the road the bike gets owned.
I mean, I have a Mazda MX-5, pretty much the cheapest roadster you can get. It has 160 hp on 950 kg, and I've left a bike with 120 hp on 200 kg behind on a very squiggly road. Bikes don't handle. And with a car, if you lose grip you have the possibility of getting back control. Lose control with a bike, and you are an organ donor.

> For my part, I wonder what the engineering expended on a Veyron could have produced if turned toward more widely applicable efforts.

But by building the Veyron, the engineers found problems that they wouldn't have found by building small hatchbacks. Ideas then are refined, and trickles down to normal roadcars.

You can't carve your way to success without cutting remarks.
