Pretty much. I read some of the American mags, but the Brit mags seem much more honest. You almost need a translation guide to read American magazines.
Occasionally has a bit of headshake = tankslapper deathtrap
FI not as smooth as we would like = stumbles so bad you'd think it lost a cylinder
Suspension a little stiff = don't hit a bump if you want to keep your nuts
Riding position is racy/track oriented/tight = it will give you carpal tunnel looking at it on a dealership floor
Quirky/unique/different/etc. = breaks all the time and you can't get parts
The Brits are much more willing to call a POS what it is. Unfortunately I'm not willing to spend $12 or more for a single issue.
