Topic: Vintage, Classic or Just old?

[Rueben21]

I am starting my first project bike, a 1982 XV750 Virago, and before I got it off the truck there was debate. Should I say I am working on a Vintage Classic, or just plain OLD motorcycle? There were six of us there and no majority decision.

I'd say it's just an old bike   When I think vintage I think of 69-76 ish i.e. cb750

I would say an old bike. I have one in my garage right now I'm working on for a friend.
Did you know you can actually put the carbs on backwards during reassembly

Oh, and the oil filter can go back in backwards as well   Of course that seizes the engine. in an hour or so. No I didn't do that one, but I did the 1st!

Of course youve got your vintage, classic, retro, old, new to me,  newish, and newer. Might have missed a few there, but take your pick

I think 81 was the first year and it was the first Japanese V twin so it may eventually have some legitimate claim as a vintage classic.
