It's not my cup of tea but at least the gen ryu model is an interesting exercise in design. Definetely has lines similar to cars of the 40's and even vintage trains. Interesting, but maybe pointless.

Looking back at the 100 years or so of the motorcycles history, a bike is a bike. I mean whether its a cafe racer, a sport touring rig or a Harley E-glide, take off the fairings and other stuff and you can still see the heritage that goes back to a board track racer. Strip my SEEG down and I can see the same basic outline of an old Montessa my dad had.

I guess bikes are like people. Whether your from Atlanta, Ga or the country of Georgia your the same basic setup, some may be in better shape than others, some a lil bigger, some a lil faster, the biggest difference is in the clothes we wear - or our bikes wear. So, looking into the future, say 20 years, would you expect the new bikes on the showroom floor to look much different than what we ride today? I wouldn't, look back 20 years and they're not much different.

It's kind of neat and comforting to think about, 100 years ago someone got just about the same rush I got yesterday riding a scooter to the next town 30 miles north of here, only he probably had a better reason to than I did. I just needed some diet coke
