    Have another read of post #7.

    Does it really sound like a rational response to the original post?

    You can play whatever game you like.

    I'm simply pointing out yet another example of the Kiwibiker collective banding together and whipping each other into a frenzy over an opinion they don't like.

    It's fucking pathetic.

    Had a 1987 R80RT-P when I was a baby traffic cop. Thought it was the ducks nuts.

    Rode one again a while back, couldn't believe how basic it was. Still cool, but old bikes required a lot more rider input.

    I must take a modern bike for a ride and see what all the fuss is about as I'm quite happy to use my 83 R80ST as a daily rider.
    50 HP, decent brakes, electric start and predictable handling are all I need really.
    Rider input is what its all about surely...
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    After getting to ride some of the hottest, new fangled, super duper, silly speed, grossly expensive, motorcycles...over the last couple of years...just 'cos I was asked to...I really was pleased to say to myself, after the hectic, never getting any feedback, paranoic mirror glancing for the red and blue lights...

    'I can't wait to get back on my old, tapped out at 185 k, ill handling, piece of shit in many eyes, bike that I love'...

    ...to each their own...but crowing about irrelevant opinions...meh...

    If by input you mean maintenance then yes... If input when riding? Yeah no I don't think so... The TR6C handles very naturally and requires no apex consideration, counter steering (albeit you do it anyway) or weight transfer.. It just goes... Its very relaxing to ride....
