I happen to think that there are many many bikes not nearly as sexy as our C10's.
While the C10's are indeed dated they are a timeless design that simply endures like the BMW R80RT has.... When I bought my 01 in the spring of 02 it was my first new bike and when I realized that they still made the C10 after all those years I knew that I need look no further as I worked for Honda back when the Concours first came out and I thought to myself now there is a bike I'd like to own one day.... Quite a few mods and years later and I'm still hooked on the chubby girl....
Being that most of my rides are short hops my bags are put away and I keep a couple of straps hooked to the Kawasaki Backrest Luggage Rack Combo and a short summer shield I look at my bike as a fat man's NINJA
