i love old cars and old street bikes. i just dont like any off road bikes before 89/90. the shape of these late 80's bikes and the characteristics like fork length etc still apllies in todays bikes. but before it was like they put random parts together... maybe it has to do with the fact that i start riding at 90's and rode nothing else than off road bikes since then but i cant see the classic beauty i see on a bmw 3.0 csl or an old mv agusta in older off roaders. even the mid 80's bikes are pretty awful to look at. the plastics just dont match.

Going back a little further, when KTM was just a twinkle in Penton's eye..
Bought this last summer, its so god damn ugly its gorgeus
so a question to veterans. when the new era bikes arrived (89 or so) do you like them from the very start or it took some time for you? and do you believe that the most beautifull bike is from the time you were teens?
Thre's not much difference in basic lines between a '90 KX and every current dirt bike.
It's like trying to critique the styling of an '86 Taurus. All you can say is that it just looks like a car.
