Of course it all depends on what the journalist originally 'expected' of the FZ1, which would then explain exactly what he was disappointed about! The statement in its self doesn't actually say that it was a bad bike (although it's implied). Like others I have known many happy owners who say it's a great bike. Most journalists seem to want every bike to ride like a track bike and criticise anything that doesn't, whereas most of us probably decide whether a bike is good or bad or one for us or not on a much wider range of factors. The moral of this is don't believe what's written in magazines but go and try for yourself and make up your own mind.
