I had a coworker years ago that owned a number of different bikes. Interestingly, the two bikes that he most often chose to commute on were a Ducati 1098 like the one in the photo above and a MV Agusta F4. Those were two bikes that I'd have zero interest in owning (what a waste of sport bikes that would be). Even though those weren't "my kind of bikes" I thought they both were incredibly beautiful machines, modern styling and all. Not the same kind of beauty that vintage bikes have, but still something that I could deeply appreciate.
By the way, nice collection of vintage bikes m in sc. In my eyes, that 1967 Kawasaki C2TR is the one that really stands out amongst the rest. Looking over all of those vintage bikes, I can see a visual thread that runs through those designs of certain traits and proportions that modern bikes just can't replicate. Modern bikes might be better performers and much safer to ride, but for me they'll never have the visual appeal of the vintage machines. My CB1100 probably comes the closest in my mind and that's probably why it holds such a strong appeal to me. Now if I had more money and more space, I would definitely own a number of wide variety of vintage motorcycles and cars. But I don't so I'll be sticking with what I have, and happily so, for the time being.
