I recently "swapped" my mc28 for an mc21 (bought the '21, sold the '28 ) and I'll guarantee anyone would lap any track (or cover any road journey they actually rode as fast as they could) a lot quicker on the '21.

Jokes aside, I get what you are saying and will be honest and say that I got the '28 purely for the cool factor. One of the teenage dreams come true.
Regardless of all that, it's the only bike in my garage that I am attached to.
It's not 'cause it is a '28 but more because I broke it down and built it from the bottom up.
That and the of course the grin it gives me when old school race fans come over to my pit when I am the only two stroke at the track and tell their kids that 'this'(pointing at the bike) is what racing is about while explaining the sound and smell.

18s, 21s, 28s, NSRs, RGVs or Aprilias. There are so few two strokes around that, in my mind, they are all cool and attract enthusiasts. Who else buys old bikes that you can't find parts for just to feed their souls.
