Like Oddball Matt pointed out, it is those testing the bike who complain--they are professionals tasked with testing all brands of bikes. That is one of the things I have always complained about when it comes to bikes--journalists. For instance, while they could never find actual issues with the Benelli 600 bikes, they complained about its lack of power. But nothing of the dollar-to-value of the bike. I am sure that I would not know the difference if my first 600 bike was the Benelli vs. a GSXR600.
This bike, I am not even sure what one would compare it to? Again, if I was looking for a stylish bike and I liked this one and the price was right (price to value goes back to our beloved dual-sports) I don't think a few missing horsepower would keep me, an amateur, from purchasing one.
