Given that it's a motorcycle, and not worth anything if it's not being ridden (i.e. classic collectors are dickheads), then why on earth could you possibly care what some magazine writer thinks??

Count yourself lucky... the last thing you want in an upshoot in popularity hammering your pricing and spares availability. Seen what a titled RG500 rolling chassis goes for now? Bloody joke... anyone that has ridden one can tell you how much of a piece of shite it is. I'd rather have an MC21/28 any day of the week. (or my RGV, but anyone who wails that there are significant differences between an RGV and an NSR is just as retarded as a collector... same shite, different bucket)
