Here's a guy with one that's almost a dead ringer...and given the dates, probably not far apart on the production line:

Hopefully, when our kids are sharing pictures 50 years from now, there'll still be motorcycles to ride, and/or places to ride them. Maybe virtual reality...which might be better.
