I'd imagine if you went to a car enthusiast forum and asked if a bone stock Yaris or Versa was a decent car, you'd get that as well, and the advice of how you can get a few year old BMW or Mustang or Lexus for the same price. Doesn't change the fact there are plenty of people not on here putzing around on those bikes every day, just like many get by with an economy car that many others would shun.
