I Ride......: Bandit 600s again
Cool what new bikes do you think will stand the test of time?

I've been looking at older bikes lately. Seeing ones that used look cool, but now just look dated. Seeing the ones that still look good after 10, 20, 30 years(1984 nighthawk 700s, the air/oil cooled gsxr, honda vfr, gen.1 bandit 600s and 1200s for me).
What new bikes do you think will look good 10, 20, 30 years from now?
I'd say the suzuki vstrom and ktm superdukes.

Re: what new bikes do you think will stand the test of time?

I dunno about specific bikes but a bike that's a bit different to others of the same era, be it something special in either design, performance, affordability or reliability - a combination of which would add up to a classic of course

Re: what new bikes do you think will stand the test of time?

Certainly not mine, I'll be lucky if it gets 5 years.

I think the R1 will always be pretty cool

I sincerely hope that's the case - I love the look of Monsters.

But for me, I think pretty much any Ducati (the 916 especially) will stand the test.
