At a quick glance I think they like it for the nostalgia not the performance. That's OK by me I like it too. Maybe after I wear out the America out I'll get one.

Cycle world seems to love to ***** nice bikes with faint praise. They always demand more power, lighter weight.

Look at Egan. Fine writer, knows his beans. But, he can't keep his mind made up about any bike for long. This week, his T100 is "perfect", then next week, it's an "underpowered POS" and he buys another Ducati. Then another HD, KTM, Meridan Triumph, BMW, on and on. Lucky dude, I just don't take his opinion very seriously on his bike de jour.....
