Those 500cc parallel-twins of the mid 70's were ... let's not say it out loud!Anythng that leaves the Ducati factory is a classic, but you have to wait 30 years until the old farts in the Vintage Car Club and Pommy bike mags decide for you.
The only date that matters is the 40 year one so you can get cheap rego and ACC.

I went to the factory Museum a few years back and I don't recall seeing any on display....I did laugh when I saw Ducatis effort at a scooter by the toilets.....Those 500cc parallel-twins of the mid 70's were ... let's not say it out loud!

Probably quite rare now and highly sought after by matching number, factory air in tyre collectors...and why not?

2001 a classic? You gotta be sh*tting me?
That's a modern bike, this century even. Probably dosen't even leak any oil
Guzzi had USD forks in 1953, not that they were any good or anything
They were racing the (dare we even mention them?) 500 twins quite well in Oz back in the 80's and they will probalby be a good investment for an original one because of the unique-ness

I had a Puch moped with upside down forks.....Guzzi had USD forks in 1953, not that they were any good or anything
that Audi decomposing in your drive way is probably a classic......

...does a six speed box in a manx preclude that manx from being a classic...

If you get a genuine Schaftleitner from back in the day, then not, certainly.
More to the point: if you put electronic ignition in its magneto casing, does that preclude the Manx from being a classic?
