Classic bike question

[5150]

What the Bonnie loses in weight and power it makes up for in not having to carry parts and tools and you can run one hard all day....

AMEN to that

5150 hello I have a classic, the Laverda also have a modern bonne enjoy riding both.
The Waikato Classic Club allows all types of bikes on there rides, owning a classic is not a requirement just a quick talk to the club captain is all that is needed.

Next club meeting is Tuesday 11 Sept 7:30pm if your interested.

It's a case of "the old look in the new style" and I don't think it ever works. Fuel injection disguised to look like carburetion? What's that about? A PT Cruiser? Much beloved by their owners but held in contempt by a lot of classic car owners. I regard faux nostalgia in a very dim light. If you want a classic motorcycle then don't ride away from your local dealer on a 2012/2013 model thinking you'v'e got a classic bike, you ain't! Go and buy a real classic. Without wanting to get into a typical KiwiBiker Slanging Match I mean all of the above in a very respectful Each To Their Own sort of way. Peace.

Does it come down to wanting " the look" but not the hassle of mechanics and or learning about them?
I just picked up an 82 Guzzi Monza in non running condition....for me its like that first few days in a foreign country....new and exciting......saying that even foreign countries are not so much like that any more either......
