Jeff, I knew you'd get an ear full on that statement. Couldn't disagree with you more. However, the problem wasn't the aesthetics. It was with gaskets and castings that leaked oil. Who didn't lust after the Norton girls. Every ad was pinned on my bedroom wall as a teenager. Even maintain a file with their pictures on my PC to this day. Would you like a copy? They'll make ya a believer.

Obviously you missed the Norton/Triumph/BSA ads of the early 70's.  The models were very functional and most aesthetically pleasing.  No doubt they inspired a few young men.  The motorcycles were clods of iron, the models were made in heaven.

Amen on the Goldie. I never could understand why they replaced it with the Victor. The Victor was more like a loser to me. I used to go to TT Scramble races every Saturday night in the early seventies. An ancient old Gold Star ridden by a guy named Top Cat Carter won the open class races every week. I understand they also did pretty weel for the day on The Isle of Mann. Criswell

The thing is that's all they had back then so you road what you brung up those mountains which you sill have to admire,but guess what now we have KLRs and all manor of off road bikes so given the choice of whats in your stable which one are you going to ride,different times different bikes,apples and oranges. One other thing did cross my mind i don't see any day packs on those bikes and what about tire irons,spare tubes,chain breaker,air pump,well you get the idea i wonder if they even thought about such stuff, minimalist riding back then i suppose who needs to eat or drink when your having so much fun.                                                                                                                Stu PS. I almost felt like one of these guys pulled my KLR out of a friends basement we're it was already sleeping for the winter, Nov 15 temp around 40F not bad for this time of the year up here in B.C. Canada, started on the HWY but returned on a forest service road,can you say mud,a little packed snow and ice in the shady spots it sure was fun,me and the bike were covered head to foot in brown stuff and can you say cold,but you know what it was just about my best ride all year,Go figure.
