    He rates it as being "great".
    I expect he means for it's given purpose which would be fair enough,but "you" have no case to rest

    I'm picking that reading comprehension wasn't the strong point of your depressingly brief interraction with the education system?

    "If you want a kitsch retro plaything for the occasional cobweb-blowing outing and a bit of urban posing, then the 72 is a supreme motorcycle. For anything else, it doesn’t work so well. "

    If you need explanations for kitsch, retro, posing and most importantly... outing. Don't hesitate to ask.

    It would be more accurate to say you've missed the point.

    "If you want a kitsch retro plaything for the occasional cobweb-blowing outing and a bit of urban posing, then the 72 is a supreme motorcycle. "

    The point being that is exactly what they're made for...therefor it's a perfect motorcycle. My RMZ450 was the best moto-x bike I've ever ridden. But it only has a 6 litre tank and was fucking shit for touring on too. And a Hayabusa is fucking shit on a moto-x track.

    Horses for courses my man.

    An RMZ450 makes a reasonably good road race bike on the right circuit!

    Yeah but the RMZ had a mission in life, poncing around from latte bowl to latte bowl isn't a manly pursuit... it's just gay... but whatever

    I like it, and I like Lattes, riding to get one is even better, so peewee if you have to measure your sexuality through a motorcycle you are a sad M.F. who has no life, and probably no wife.

    He might not be looking for a wife. Some of us arent.
