...Funny how 50 years helps soften how bad bikes sucked back then...
Yeah - probably mostly nostalgia... (And someone will say the same thing about the Concours in 40 - 50 years)
Admittedly, they weren't really good at anything but straight line running, but the rush of a that 2-stroke 750 hitting the powerband was a thing of beauty - hard to beat (at least until I got my first fuel injected bike...)
Took one for a spin last fall, and it still made me smile...
Don't under-rate the value of nostalgia... Look at all the cafe and retro bikes coming out now. (though most are FI..)
I'd also like to get another old bike I owned - a 1983 CB1100F - not the greatest, but my first 'new' bike, and I loved it... Must be some kinda mid-life crisis thing...
