At the end of the day,it’s each to there own,
Most, like me get limited time off for there’re yearly tour or whatever, I’d hate for my bike to crap itself on the autoroute 500 miles from home.
These bikes can be an investment,a daily ride or a tourer,but they are 30 plus years old and need to start,run and be reliable to be of any use
That’s a good summary - they can be all three at the same time and they surprisingly good off tarmac.
