'Vintage' is defined as a vehicle manufactured prior to 1930... and i dont think any of us here have a bike thats that old..
'Classic' is defined as a vehicle made at least 25 years ago.. which i think quite a few of us have bikes that fit in to this age bracket...
I can understand how some more recent bikes are classed as 'classics' due to the performance, style or rarity value..
opinions anyone?...

Sun, November 4, 2007 - 10:06 PMYeah, but our old POS motorcycles are objects of love, so if they are more than ten years old, they're 'Vintage'. We ain't goin by Hoyle here!
The other thing I'd love to nip in the bud is, restored and continuity of parts. F%k that! It's cool if it's running and it's cool if it fits your vision of cool. Personal example: my '72 shovelhead in a wishbone frame and my '47EL with anacronistic and non Harley parts. They're 'Vintage'!!!!
