1. I’ll stick with my customized KLR650 and TW200 (in storage, with two identified electronic parts pulled, and wrapped in mylar).

   Practical and tactical.

   1. DR650 with even fewer electronics.Complete with saddle bags and a gel seat for the missus.

2. It is probably an age thing but I also just very much enjoy looking at those older bike. Few of the new ones turn my eye with the exception of a few Triumphs, some of which look like they maintained older looking styling.

   1. One thing I like about the older bikes, especially Hondas were that they were dual-purpose, even before the term was created: High ground clearances and knobby tires.

4. For a hoot, watch American Pickers. The prices they pay for old mopeds, Vespas and other scooters, and old motorcycles are quite surprising. Also watching the pickers gives information on what to look for on condition, parts acquisition, etc. They are also good on antique bicycles and cycle cars.

5. I have a number of Vintage bikes from the 60s & 70s and regularly ride a couple of them. Vespas do get phenomenal mileage BUT have quite small wheels compared to other bikes. When – not if – our pavement becomes badly potholed or an off road shortcut is necessary then a cycle with 18″ or larger wheels would be a better choice.

6. As has been mentioned in these pages for years, the Kawasaki KLR 650 is a simple, easy to fix survival bike that will be worth a lot when the SHTF.
