Bikes do get heavier with age.  Sold my beloved Conk C-10 for a Honda NT 700 for just this reason. The smaller bike does everything the Conk did except accelerate.  Great long distance machine, but it feels more like an appliance rather than a motorcycle.  Happily my Breva 750 fills the need for a real bike.

LOL, yep, the NT is nice for what it is.  But, I still have my T5 and don't have the NT anymore :)

Seems like 90% of the NT700 owners came from heavy bikes, Connies, Honda ST's, etc.  Also of interest, there is a smaller percentage who have gone back to a heavy bike, mainly the FJR.  I think it's cause they miss the power.  Once on the road the weight does not matter as much.
