I think your full of **** SP (saying mach 6 seat tube angle ruins it), when you were on the Mach 6 forum you said it was the greatest thing alive, that you set all new PRs with it. Everytime a new bike comes out you insist its the best... until the next bike comes out
You are entitled to your opinion. The M6 was a definite improvement over the HD/R's that I had. You can also adapt to the seat angle on the M6 as I did, but when you have the luxury of switching back and forth between a lot of bikes what is optimal becomes differentiated from what is adequate. The M6 was revolutionary for me because of the longer front end. I was very fast on that bike but am faster on my Nomad. The M6 is faster on tight flatter Singletrack but everywhere else it is either a draw or the Nomad is faster.
You should also notice that I don't post negative reviews for the most part, I just move on. I did not like let alone love my E29 or my SB5c. I did not blow them up I simply chose not to write a lot about them. I also have not written a lot about my HD3 either. Nice bike but it does not fit my riding style right now. It is fast for sure but I always feel a little out of control on it. In addition despite my bike addiction it takes me a few weeks to get comfortable on a bike and I cannot switch aback an forth easily. I will probably give the HD3 another go after race season ends.
I am happy to pm you the negatives of all of these bikes and if people want to hear them I will post them publicly but I don't like calling people's babies ugly. If you are ever in SD I will buy you a beer and we can discuss my bike preferences in person.
