I agree with you, "modern classic" any day of the week for me.andy griff wrote:Interesting topic.
I have an R1200S and bought a K1100RS to supplement it. I love it. 1997 and absolutely quick enough, plus modern enough to have good brakes and strong engine. New enough to make spares available and reliable enough to start first time when i go to the garage after a coupe of weeks.
Each to their own, this one scratches my itch for something a bit classic without meaning its always in bits
Are old British classics fun or big disappointments?

I think you're right there. Although the brakes on some older stuff will take an awful lot of attitude adjustment!oyster wrote:I think it depends entirely on your riding attitude. .............
I'm sure it's been done before, but a thread on what defines "character" in a motorcycle would be good. Be interesting to hear what it means to different people. And whether people generally think modern bikes are devoid of it.
