ADVrider poll on classic motorcycles

[flynrider]

Liquid cooling, cast wheels and mono shocks have been used on motorcycles dating back into the 1890s

However in our terms for " classic" the 72 Suzuki GT 750 was liquid cooled, the 76 Yamaha RD 400C had cast wheels and the 82 Yamaha Virago 920 had a monoshock. I think all would be considered "classics" by most collectors in the motorcycle community.

The '83 Honda Interceptor had liquid cooling, cast wheels and a monoshock (and a V4 to boot!).



I remember at the time thinking that it was a radical departure from the typical UJM and was quite suspicious of all that modern technology.
