Interesting observation Django. In my opinion, good design tends to have immediate appeal, we find ourselves instantly attracted to it. Great design has lasting appeal — the more time we spend looking at it, the more we find to like. We might not all be attracted to the same designs, but most of us probably would differentiate the amount of appeal various designs have to each of us individually in a similar fashion.
Stepping out into the garage and admiring a brand new motorcycle is thrilling. Stepping out into the garage and admiring a motorcycle that's provided you with years of pleasure and that you still never tire of looking at is priceless. I'm sure that just as with the CB1100 there will be guys who buy the new Z900RS with the intention of hanging onto the bike for a long time, but who won't end up doing so (as it is with all bikes). Hopefully every single one of them finds it thrilling to lay their eyes upon the bike for the first time each day. When those days turn into months, even better, and when those months turn into years then fantastic. But by then some will have moved onto the next thing where part of the thrill is talking about how much better it it than their old Z900RS, lol. Different strokes and all that.
