Mh its a matter of opinion, you cant really compare a 70 - 80's two stroke to a modern sport bike, jump on a new bike and you will see how long it will keep you happy :). I have the dime but I still find most of the time working on the bikes and riding them, which brings me to this offer. I have a 2006 F4i yellow with around 9k miles or a 2006 sv650 with around 8K miles. something you would consider?
