The way I see it, if some people can conceivably think that a C150 is a step up from a Chipmunk ... then fine, terrific, great, go for it!
It just takes the pressure off the Chippy market.
It just boils down to 'Boys and their Toys' - What does it for me, may not for you.
A classic British bike versus a Japanese screamer. A wooden boat versus an aluminium one. A 'curvaceous' woman versus a 'slim' one... Et cetera.
Pretty simple, really.
Oh, BTW, you can buy 'Super Chippy' kits from the States, y'know. No oil leaks, no quirks, no foibles - just the thing for the anally-retentive.
