Well, no, because anyone knowing their stuff realises that by then the era of cool motorbikes was already over. I can still get all sentimental when thinking about my cool 1981 moto guzzi lm3 or my 1979 suzuki GS 750. This was also the era of the introduction of the CBX 1000 and the Z1300... sigh... Now I would settle for a brand spanking new suzuki GS 1000 I once test-drove an old one in very bad condition (didn't buy it ) I still remember the adrenalin surge just from starting this bike, the sound from the gurgle through the 4 open carbs and the 'modified' 4-in-1 Marshall exhaust. These bikes had a certain purity and raw-ness you don't find anymore. Maybe this evening I'll watch Mad Max again....
