Topic: Just sharing...

I just read an interesting interview with Paul D'Orleans over at bikeexif.

I just thought that it really rang true to me.  Can't really think of a modern production bike that I really want, except for those that look like the old ones. 



Q: Which ‘everyday’ modern bikes do you think will become future classics? The equivalent of the Honda CB750 or Moto Guzzi V7 Sport, if you like?

A: There is no mystery: the bikes everyone lusts after. There is a reason people want them; they are really good and beautifully designed. Modern bikes are beyond amazing. It’s really hard to find an old machine which gives something like the visceral satisfaction of a new machine. But really, I find new bikes boring. They take no special talent to ride well—they don’t need me, and I don’t need them.

Good points.

Wring the neck in 2nd on a modern sport bike and you could get arrested.

Wring the neck on a CB750 in second and you probably won't get
arrested.
But you still get the rush.
