I like this thread .... now your talking  Motorbikes.
If I may ....BMW ... an old man's bike  ...OK... then I must be considered old  .... smooth as they are...shaft drive ( what more could you want )...a set of panniers on the back ....a great tourer.
I'd have blokes coming in buying ' O Ring ' chains all the time...........give me shaft drive any day.
I have a favourite ...the MotoGuzzi 500 Monza ..90' degree Twin Cylinder...shaft driven .....haven't seen 1 of these in a long time.
At one time decades ago ...( for 2 years ) ...I was Spare Parts Manager for a Kawasaki Motorcycle Dealership ...BMW/Harley Davidson Dealership was across the road.
We both did quite well selling our brand .
We were selling the GPZ900R's...GPZ1000's ....GPZ750R Turbos and the pocket rocket known as the KR250.... also road/trail bikes.
Kawasaki was known as the ' Green Machine ' at Bathurst.
But of all the bikes we sold in those days....where are they now....BUT....look around and you can see some day's ... an early BMW still going on the road .
Flash....the old man
