I remember growing up in those times too (and taking my formative steps as a motorcyclist). Good times definitely. Bikes were certainly powerful enough, beginning to handle better than most riders could outrider them, tyres were also becoming very good. Less speed cameras and less restrictions. The music was brilliant.... I could go on.... but definitely a 'golden era' of technologies coming together for the everyday regular motorcyclist. Bikes were much less complicated too. You could actually service your own bike and diagnose issues without automotive diagnostics training! This is why my 'youngest' bike was manufactured in 2007! Keeping it simple. I even have a very tidy '91 Yamaha TDM 850 for that 'garage door' feeling! Now there is a bike they could relaunch for the current era! Happy and safe riding everyone!😊

If they make it, I hope they don't touch a thing about the Z900 powerplant. That, or give it even more power. I don't understand the "need" to reduce power, add weight, just because styling is different from the donor bike. All the reengineering costs money and jacks up the price.
