That's what, bad timing luck at two traffic lights?
For me it's not so much the 4 min speed improvement. It's the way the bike actually rides and handles. 40 years of development has improved both of those aspects quite significantly IMHO. The engineering is so much more refined too, although maybe you need to be an engineer to appreciate that aspect.
