Why Nobody Wants Old Bikes Anymore [??] Video
« on: April 08, 2026, 02:50:45 PM »
Ran across this video, same woman in the video that was recently posted about riding around Oz.

It does have some good points how the CB750 "killed" the Brit bikes, but some of her other opinions are just that.

Agreed, folks want nanny's on all their stuff. She was, however, fairly complementary about the CB750 in spite of the fact that I didn't think it ran quite right (judging from the sound). I suppose if she had never heard a good one she would not know. Kudos for handling a heavy bike,

yes she did seem to like it and made some good points . i dont think the bike was put together very well though , i was just waiting for the throttle grip to fall off .  all the plugs for different videos and products were annoying but with luck she will have interested a few younger people in old bikes .

I’m seeing smarter, more informed buyers. The internet makes it easy to be selective. The junk in the market is being ignored. Sweet running, good looking machinery is still selling.
