Ah so we're more similar than not...... Except for that Norge thing. [emoji28] [emoji13] [emoji28]
Motorcycle magazines are part of it, too. Look at the American offerings. All of a sudden a 135hp Speed Triple is "old news" against the new KTM 1290 with over 160hp-for a road bike. Geez. I'm not telling anybody what to ride but every American bike mag touts the latest and greatest high hp bike as a must have.I get several European magazines as well and it's a totally different read. Besides way less emphasis on hp they are much more interested in writing about all the different machines. For this reader BIKE and MSL are 100x more interesting to read than CycleWorld or Motorcyclist.
For me, the rest is history. 29 Guzzis later......... ;-) I still own #27, Lannis's old Cali III. Still working on attaching the sidecar. I just don't have the energy I had back in my 40's.
I buy what makes sense to me, what I use it for, how it feels and ease of maintenance. Always have. This V7 will be the LAST new bike I will buy. I have decided to stay with the three most favorite bikes I have ever owned the last 45 years. RD400, GT500 and PC800. They do EVERRYTHING I ever wanted from a motorcycle and more. I think someday in the not to distant future I most likely wont be allowed to ride those old timers, I will lament at the time but I guess I will still have the V7.
Why would you not be allowed to ride the RD400, GT500, or PC800 in the not too distant future?
If they sold, they wouldn't be NICHE bikes anymore!Jurgen
