Year for a classic bike?

[PeteJ]

As for ones personal opion of a classic well thats just that, a classic could be born tomorow, how ever I tend to swad with those that say bikes that changed the world or were a big step ahead are classics, ie: Kawa trips, CX turb, CB dry sumpers.

Yeah, exactly my point. The triples were neither new in concept nor earth-changing; the CX turbo proved to be part of a technological cul-de-sac, and was interesting only as a great example of Honda achieving a difficult engineering exercise on a production basis; the dry-sump fours did change the face of motorcycling, but in themselves were a prime example of a successful new combination of old ideas.

Now, you and I could toss our ideas around between each other for ever and a day, but there's not actually a "right" or a "wrong" with opinions. (It's opinions expressed as fact that wind me up: see many of the threads on this forum...).

No such thing as a vintage or classic bike. It's either old, very old or ancient.

An eminently defensible position.

Death to the rivet counters, huh? Me, I just like to sit on the things and pull the bloody wire.
