| Just had a thought on the subject and was wondering if anyone else would concur. Is the subjective beauty of a bike realised differently by different generations? I.E do people choose their favourite looking bike from the generation they first really got intersted in bikes and tend to stick with it? Shunning newer designs cos they were'nt as good as the good old days? Refusing to move on? Does your average 70 year old appreciate 916 any more than his historic Norton for example, im sure he finds his classic ultimately more beautiful? Would this mean the average age of a 916 996 998 owner be slightly older than a 999/749 owner? Whilst i love the 916 et all i genuinely think the 749/999 looks better, it's just more modern and to my liking. And perhaps to reinforce the point im making (as in sticking with what we like), i think i prefer the look of mine to the new 1098, altough i'll reserve this till i have seen a new un in the flesh. By jove i think i've cracked it   |
