Classic motorcycle

[karma67]

Have you ridden one?

A good Norton or Velocette might have you rethinking that. Later examples even had decent enough brakes.

no,its not my cup of tea geoff,
i did ride a 1985 Suzuki rg500 when i had my r1,back in the day they were awesome,but compared to how bikes have moved on since it felt awful,tiny forks,small tyres. its only saving grace was the smell and sound coming out of the four tail pipes

I know exactly what you mean... All things, I'd imagine though, which could be tastefully 'pimped'... I'm a great believer in mixing the best of both new and old, and not just with hi-fi!
