All these bikes are way too expensive, and heavy, and except for the air-oil-cooled bikes BMW, Guzzi, W800, they look a dogs dinner with the massive radiator stuck out in front! Radiators to motor bikes, are like pantyhose to women, both passion killers! Once upon a time , bikes took your breath away just by looking at the engine, with it's gleaming engine and finned cylinders, it was the focal point, the heart and soul of the bike, that drew you in!. Now they all paint the engines black and try to hide the unsightly look of radiator hose pipes, and bland looking, bald and unfinned engines! Sorry but modern bikes are extremely good, but extremely bad too! Coming in over 200kg, no wonder they need a 1200cc engine, to move that lump! Motor cycle design, has died, if you want proof, just look at the real vintage motor bikes designs from the 30,40 50,60and 70, 80?s after that all the manufacturers lost their way, and cannot design a good looking motor bike anymore! Sad the passing of an era, but it is, what it is! And what the hell happened to giving kickstarters to these" modern retro bikes!". Just because you dont need it, is not a good enough reason to leave it out! When you kick over your bike, you connect with your bike, and your experience is richer for it, but then again, what would modern " so called designers of motor bikes know about that! Rant over !
