I think the SS has suffered in the shadow of the limelight attracted by the superbikes. If most of us were honest though - we'd all realise that we don't need/can't use the power or complexity of the superbikes.
I really lament the death of simple, easy to maintain sportsbikes with useful amounts of performance that don't cost an arm and a leg to buy/run and don't depreciate like a lead balloon.
