Title: Cycle World EICMA post
Post by: Olafskii on November 10, 2016, 07:59:29 PM

This year's EICMA doesn't appear to have much for a classic bike fan to drool over.  The new Guzzi's look nice as does the BMW arr-nein-tee.  However the dual sport world is doubling down on hideous 'beaks' which have now appeared on Suzuki's DL250 V-Strom.  When will the terribleness stop?

Geez Olaff, you are really starting to blend to our common denominator.  When "new" just gets uglier, you are ripe for vintage enthusiasm.  I haven't looked at a new bike in so long ... I am going to be really out of touch when I consider a vintage a 20 year old motorcycle and reflect "hmm ... actually I don't remember when those were new."

Peace & progress (or lack thereof), Dennis
