New bikes like this Yamaha leave me cold. Then again, they are not designed for me in mind so no skin off Yamaha's back. Classic standards (CB1100, V7, V9, W800/W650 etc.) spin my prop. I have a soft spot for some adventure bikes and the Ducati Scrambler is appealing in a classical looking bike sort of way.
They look like real bikes, not something that popped off the pages of Marvel or DC or snuck out the back door at Mattel or Hasbro.
Even the new Indian is making some older classics that are appealing if not exactly affordable.
Issues with Moto Guzzi (Piaggio) make me reconsider the brand from time to time. Tough call. If I dump the Griso (many reasons, it's been a difficult relationship with ups and downs) the V7 is still attractive to me.
