I get more enjoyment out of my 73 eldo, 85 Lemans, and 84 Cal II than any other bikes I have owned. The newer stuff just doesnt do it for me. I now mostly use my bikes for day rides .The only thing I would consider a newer bike for is two up touring from coast to coast, and for that, I would pick a new GL 1800 Gold wing.Rick.
Ok, new-ish Moto Guzzi guy here. So you are telling me there are Guzzi motorcycles that are more fun to ride than my Griso and V7 iii Racer?? I take the Racer out if I'm in a bit more relaxed frame of mind, the Griso if more in fast romp frame of mind. What's a good "newest of the old" that would you guys would suggest? I think I need disc brakes. Carbs are fine. I love the looks of the green & black 1000S, beautiful! But I would need to stay in the $5K-$8K range, and it seems any decent green/black 1000S is way over that. Not sure what's a good model.
Every time I ride an old one they feel old, disappointing, uncomfortable and slow with all of the sophistication of a turd sandwich. I have fond memories of my youth attached to them but as is often said the best thing about the ' Good Old Days' is that they are gone.Pete
Which is fine Charlie! I'm just offering a counterpoint.
