I'm into classic bikes, I reckon many other members are also into classics. I have a collection 70's, 80's and early 90's bikes. I only have one 2 stroke, a 1972 Yamaha DT3 250 Enduro, my other 70's bike is a Honda CB360, bought because my first real bike was a cb250g5. What classics do you own ?
Lots of members on here in to the older bikes. Ive just picked up a 1967 BSA A65 Thunderbolt got a few jobs to do on her but thats as much fun as riding them
I have a few as some members will know, oldest first, 1954 Ariel fieldmaster 500 twin, 1960 Ariel leader, 1960 BSA A7ss, 1982 Moto guzzi Monza, and 1 modern bike a motoguzzi 2018 V7 special in touring trim
I've got a number of bikes both British and Japanese, bought a 1924 350 AJS, 1954 B31 BSA and another Honda Fireblade last year but haven't had a chance to ride any last year because of the virus

Either you're very brave GL, or she doesn't have access to this site!
Actually it does raise the question of what's a classic and what's just an old bike.
I'm currently building a Norton Commando special (The Commando was never a classic IMO.), using a lot of parts from my Seeley Weslake Formula 750 race bike, which I personally think is a classic, but myself along with a few others had a hell of a job getting it eligible for CRMC racing.
I have a 1986 Kawasaki GPz750 A3 which I`ve owned for 13 yrs & added 50,000 miles to it. I`ve always maintained it myself & up until 2019, when I bought my BMW R1150RT, it was regularly ridden in all weathers. It is original apart from the exhaust(Motad Neta 4 into 1) & mirrors, although I still have the original mirrors for shows. I was going to sell it but because it has sentimental value (we`ve had some good times together) I decided to keep & semi-retire it to enjoy on good weather days.
