I was pondering... If you could persuade a manufacturer to reintroduce an old discontinued model (maybe with updated modern brakes etc.) Like Triumph's retro Bonneville range or Moto Guzzi's V7 series, what would it be & more to the point, would you rush out and buy one?
My choice would be Honda's CX500 from 1978. What's your favourite 'I WANT ONE!' retro bike?

Re: Discontinued Bikes...
The Yamaha RD350 set up as a cafe racer. Not the RD400, the 350. Not the TZ250, the 350. Light as a feather, took off like it was shot from a cannon, and sounded like a swarm of angry bees was between your knees.
