Having just joined this forum and brousing the rules, one question which springs up, is 'What is retro'?
My bike is a 1998 Ducati ST2, so does that qualify. I do like older bikes as opposed to new one's, especially as I cant afford a lovely new bike!
I am hoping to build a cafe racer next year based on a BMW R80, so hopefully that will be very retro. Until, hopefully the Ducati will count?
Ta ta, Mark.

Hehe this question came up when I first created the forum. I think the general consensus was that most things can be retro despite perhaps being a little newer then the tag would suggest  |

Well my ST2 is one of the very earliest bikes, and they are pretty rare, which is shocking, because it is proving to be a brilliant bike. Many have reached 100,000 miles with the correct servicing, which for an Italian is pretty impressive.
My brother made a cafe racer a few years ago based on a Yamaha xs650, and I am planning to make one this year based on a BMW R80, so we both like the retro scene, so I think I'll enjoy being on here.

Welcome to the forum chap, impressive selection of bikes you've had. The cafe project certainly sounds interesting too.  |
