That's only part of it, Jared.
I've seen photos of the new "retro" Vincent Black Shadow that's coming out. Basically a Honda VTR engine (with a big honkin' radiator) in a frame that "evokes" the plumbing of the original. Stupid.
And what's with the anime-bug-eyed sportbikes coming out of Japan?
Motorcycles just don't have any
style anymore. They're mass-produced, focus-group-designed, throw-away vehicles like every other jelly-bean car on the road.
