I don't think an observation is necessarily a negative nor is a comparison. The design of some things are so iconic as to demand comparison and critiquing especially if they carry the same moniker as the original . Triumph Bonneville, Norton Commando, Indian Chief and Scout, to name a few. Although we often remember things as viewed thru rode colored glasses, there is no doubt the newly named items, although resembling the originals, are not clones , and are actually much better machines thank goodness.
