I've seen a few people complaining about Bungie giving out "useless sparrows," but consider this for a moment.
There have been a lot of rumors about the new raid in The Dark Below having a part where guardians have to outrun an ogre on their sparrows. The new sparrows are only available to people who purchased The Dark Below expansion. Why would Bungie give out new sparrows to those people? Because the rumors are true! At least in part. Guardians, I think we're gonna need those sparrows in the new raid. I bet you 25,000 glimmer! With their upgraded abilities and speed, they'd be perfect for outrunning ogres!
Are you excited for the new raid? I was before, but this discovery made me even more so!

Don't believe it myself, I've got the new sparrow and it is slower then my legendary I got from VoG Hard mode so why would they give them out when most people I assume have the raid Sparrow already??
