I don't see anything wrong with the article nor do I see the bikes as "vastly different, simply different breeds of the same species, kind of like evaluating whether an Arabian or a Clydesdale is more suited for a particular equine task.

Sorry Jay, apparently I wasn't clear. As previously stated, I thought it was a very good review. I understand that he was using the Beemer simply as the opposite end of the spectrum (or different breed) in the ADV class. Nothing more. I enjoyed the article very much, especially coming from someone who owns both, just not test riding both.
My second sentence was simply to state that in many magazines and reviews today (which I should have noted), I see them "comparing" or shoot out vastly different bikes these days, as opposed to when I was a kid. My apologies for any misunderstanding. Being critical of the article was the furthest thing from my mind.
Nice pics Joe, thank you for sharing.
