When I bought my XJ650 2nd hand in 1983, I paid $4995. That was probably pretty close to 6 months pay for me. If you look at what you get today for 6 months pay, the increase in power, handling, tyres, brakes, suspension and so on, bikes today are actually damn cheap.
having recently got back into bikes I was stunned at how much we could get for our $$$$$
