Looks like I'm part of the majority here. I had started with a new 71 T125 Suzuki, traded on a 72 DS7 Yamaha then a 72 CB450 then a 74 CB750 then the 75 Z1. It seems as a new rider my income was growing with my need to go faster and motorcycle manufacturers had the right products. I then bought a 59 R26 for restoration. Great project and it fueled my appreciation for fundamental motorcycles. I also appreciated motorcycling a a different level. Well that Z1 was the last new bike and a progression of older English, Italian and German bikes (as well as the need to go a little slower) has brought me to my current 04 S. I don't need a bike that interfaces with my iPhone or fitbit or has mind control suspension/engine/traction options although I appreciate the technology as time marches on. As I approach 50 years in this sport the S fills the bill perfectly.
