p6x Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 The older motorcycles are going to slowly but surely go away, unfortunately. Most of the guys riding them are passionate, and most likely want to ride a V11 by choice. The "younger" riders are probably more interested in bikes that are more modern, and have fewer flaws or require less effort to maintain. I am thinking that because of the lack of options for maintaining an older bike, some may just pass on. Especially when you are getting older, physically, it is really difficult. 2 Link to comment

True, but not all of them. The German forum has a couple of members in their early twenties who have '80s Guzzis. One of them only introduced himself today, i.e. brand new member. He's bought himself a Le Mans 1000, is delighted with it, and is only 25 years old. There is hope... 2 Link to comment

Because it really feels like we are a dying breed... 1 Link to comment
