| Ducati had the same problem in the early 80's when they went from the old bevels to the new belt Pantahs, the people with the older bikes wouldnt buy the newer ones. I know, cos I was one :P . It took the 851 to get me off Jap bikes, then the 916 and 996. Money was ready when the new one came out, then oh dear. I have absolutely no doubt that the newer bikes are much better bikes in every way but to pay so much money for a toy that does not stir my emotions?? No thanks. And have you noticed how bland the new bikes look with track fairings on and no sponsors stickers.? |
