1990 to now future classics

[vinnyb]

I think as we head into the next generation of 'classic' bikes with fuel injection, ABS, traction control, riding modes and the like, they'll be less home maintenance friendly so less likely to be restored. Up until 2000ish most bikes were relatively straightforward to maintain but they have become increasingly complex and compact since then. I daresay a lot of us on here have stripped bikes down to component parts and restored/rebuilt them, I know I have, more than once but I'm not sure I would try it with a modern one. Having said all that I guess 25 years ago, 50 year old bikers were saying that the new bikes of the time would never be classics.
