Well one more note.
You can't compare new apples & old oranges.
But for real I think I have your problem solved.
Ditch the little saddle bags they are causing air flow issues and slowing you down.
Just ride it and enjoy it.
Like jet said we are in the older generation and grew up riding the bikes that we are now using for builds.
We kind of know what to expect from them.
Funny thing is I had a time between bikes and didn't ride much and the first time I got on a modern bike it about pulled my arms out of socket.
