It was probably quite ground-breaking in its time, but my God, it was DISGUSTING to look at and for that reason alone, it would never make an appearance in any "Classic Bikes" book that I had control over. I always wonder about this "Classic" label. Who decides to which bike the label should be stuck??
There are some clear and obvious candidates like the Kawasaki Triples, the Z900, the GT750 Kettle, Black Bomber, XS650, Triumph Hurricane, BSA GoldStar, Suzuki RE5, etc, etc, etc. To me, they're all a thing of beauty and I readily accept anyones "Classic" label. So I am obviously influenced heavily by appearance and sound. But I also think that the first-generation FireBlade should be tagged as a Classic. And what about the radical CBX and Z1300?? And is a Yamaha FS1E really deserving of the tag?
What's your view on this?
