Yes, you're right. My mistake... And you're also right concerning the investment vs. potential sales. Guess this is the end of an era, that's why I'll keep my bike. More and more motorcycles on the market that sound like a vacuum cleaner, with lots of electronic gadgets and test riding modes... That's not definitively my thing. I need to feel something in my stomach when I ride a motorcycle... And I'm not talking about extreme speed. I was a Harley rider for 20 years, then Triumph rider and now I own this one (Honda CB 1100 RS) for almost 3 years (which happens to be the best I've ever had), but they all have something in common: the feel of riding a motorcycle like they were built in the past with modern technology...

Yes maybe. I'm curious about that. Or maybe they all turn electric in a few years...
and which also look like a vacuum cleaner!...

Always thought my CB350 in the late '60s / early '70s sounded like a sewing machine...
