    • Never go to a psychiatrist, adopt a straycat or dog. On the street they live only two years average.

I like the new Nortons but so far, they've never reached the USA.

After the Italian bikes, I put around 200,000 miles on a whole series of Buells.
The Japanese and European bike riders wouldn't set foot in a Harley dealership, the Harley guys hated the Buells so I'm not sure that any of them will ever be seen as a classic bike.
Perhaps my old S1W White Lightning would qualify.

Much like a bad check, I bounced back to where I came from.

I'm not sure if any of the Hinkley Triumphs will be viewed as classics.
Perhaps the Speed Triple as it's probably the epitome of monster motors and a seat?
Here's my 2006 bug eyed monster:

And possibly the Thruxton R due to it's good looks and performance.

Question,

What qualifies as a classic? Age?, Style? Significance?

Cheers!
