XX = comfort/speed/dependability/price
New bikes =comfort/speed/higher price/ no real "new" technology
this ought to open up a can o worms.....

Check with this post.....I think it has a lot of good answers to your question. Why Blackbird is the best ?

All of the competition comes with fully adjustable suspension.
The lack of adjustable suspension would not be such a bad thing if it were set up correctly in the first place.
It's not. The stock BlackBird is undersprung and has too much compression damping.
