That's pretty much how I felt about my Thorn Raven, untill I loaded it up and used it for it's designed purpose, in the end though it wasn't worth keeping for the little use it got like that.
What you mean it wasn't much good when you loaded it up??
No, just the opposite. IMO a pretty uninspiring bike unloaded, a real plodder (Though plenty of people like that) Put four heavy panniers on it and it all made much more sense.
I was suggesting that you may change your mind about whether your bike is amazing if you get to use it for what it was designed for.
