Hardcore Biker
apart from the few jeremy clarkson has removed from circulation on tv havn't seen any for years
still doesn't make them collectable
C'mon lets ride....
In your humble opion of course. Mind you most have probably just rusted into oblivion. Someone else might have a different veiw on the matter.

...But surely a car that stays in production for 10 years and sells 800 000 plus units must be classic!!!

I drove them as an apprentice....along with other great vehicles like...The Commer van...The Chevette....The Vauxhall Viva....The Hillman Hunter....The Morris 1000....what a load of junk.
Only marginally better were the XA Falcons, HQ Holdens.
The Mk4 Cortina was probably the best of the lot....that is however not saying much.
Then Hiaces, Coronas and Corrollas arrived.....proper engineered cars.....excluding the Mazda Bongo....
Was I glad at the end of the day to get into my VW...and drive home in a well engineered vehicle that in its own production life was concidered classic.

Who would have thought the Yammaha Fizzy's were ever going to be anything more than disposable learner bikes that got thashed and trashed and sent to the crusher?
They are so popular in the UK they have shows for them and a minter, especially in the purple scheme, go for pretty reasonable money.
Not my cup of tea but I can see why.
People learn on them, get old and have some cash and want to relive some weird stuff they should have forgotton and snap up the few remaining tidy ones.
Takes many or just one path to make a classic.
Race heritage, limited numbers, groundbreaking technology, last of the line, unrestricted, expensive, pretty or really ugly etc etc
I don't think it is comprehendable how, or in some cases why, it just is.

The metal is always nude.
You wait,....
Since Moto Guzzi has not made a proper sportsbike for a while now (and probably won't since being owned by Aprilia), the V11's will be collectable.
I'm not going to sell mine in the near future. Love it too much !!

True, I have given up waiting for the MG-01 to be put out in road trim, probably because they learned with the Daytona that they lost money on each and every one sold.
They must do a sport bike, the 1200 Sport is just a hotted up version of Grandad's Breva, and doing retro attempts at recreating a V7 Sport using a Nevada 750 engine does not cut it.
