Ural, Royal Enfield, and Honda has the CB1100
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Re: new retro bikes
You would swear they are the best built, best riding, bestest of all the bestest bikes in world according to their fanboys on their FB page. I subscribe to it and read it when I need a cheap laugh or giggles. Of course if you should mention or hint at some of their many quality issues, you will bring down the wrath of fanboydom upon your head.pyronano wrote:If only the Cleveland was a well made bike

Re: new retro bikes
I believe the Suzuki TU250X would qualify as a retro bike.

Re: new retro bikes
I think so, too. Sadly, though, I won't be riding one anytime soon, as Suzuki's Web site says:jstark47 wrote:I believe the Suzuki TU250X would qualify as a retro bike.
*Unfortunately, this model is not available in California.

Re: new retro bikes
Don't forget the Suzuki Savage (S40), it has been made UNCHANGED for over 27 years now (since 1986!) and CURRENTLY is the longest running unchanged motorcycle model in any big manufacturer (even the sportster from H-D hasn't remained unchanged for so long).
So, this is truly a retro-bike as well. But not a modern-retro other than it's still available as a 2013:

Re: new retro bikes
Budget for the termi kit (cans, air filter and ECU if you want it to run correctly), budget for suspension to replace the utter dodo that the bike comes with. If you can get past this, plus never feel the need to see the battery, it will serve you well.pyronano wrote: I was looking at one whats up?
Not that I'm bitter.....
Actually, if the bike had been better I wouldn't have moved on to own the KTM Superduke I have now - and that would have been the real tragedy
