I had no idea that Triumph still made a Classic style of motorcycle. Just air-cooled, spokes and plain, cheap chain drive. (sign me up)

Even Moto-Guzzi offers one, though not chain drive.

I love the retro style of these Urals, too. ( I'll bet they are quite possibly terrible motorcycles though)

The usual Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki crotch rockets to me are boring and extremely uncomfortable to ride. I can't believe that none of these guys still make a plain, simple, cheap motorcycle for the old fart in most of us. No, we got to turn to Ebay, I guess.
And scooters, I love the classic Cushmans and the old Vespas. To me they are much cooler than those modern-looking Honda Elite-style scooters.
I had a Honda Trail 90 until it rusted to pieces, then I bought a Trail 110, which got stolen, then I found out that we can't get them here anymore (new). Those things were bullitproof, and cheap; they always started as long as good clean fuel was in the tank.
(Honda - Austrailia still has them in their line.)
I had my motorcycle bug bite again (I doubt if my wife would allow me the use of my testicles though to grab one these days though) while shopping in Ebay looking at those classic bikes. I found a couple of really cherry 2 stroke Yamahas from the 70's. Those were awesome fun to ride.
What type of motorcycles do you like? The modern stuff or the classics? To Harley or not? Why? Do you like the biggest and best? or mid-size or scooter?
