Must have bikes of the last few years

[AndyDRZ]

Hello Guys,

I see on here from time to time the older folk talking about the bikes of their youth and then going out and buying some lovely looking 2 stroke from when they were a lad.

So, it got me thinking, what are the normal bikes out there at the moment that will be "Classic" in 20 years time.

Most Sports 600 and Litre bikes are already forgotten about once they reach 1 year old as they are outdated (Possible exception 2004 ZX10R and ZX636R B1h)

Then you've got the Honda SP1/SP2 but even these are looking fat and slow and less pretty than I remembered.



So, have bikes become too disposible now and get forgotten about too quickly or are there some long term Gems out there ?

Yeah, the RS250 is nice.

K5 is a good example of a very fine 1000CC. I guess what might make them classic is when they stop producing such powerful machines.
