Am I the only one? Old bikes vs new bikes

[tached1000rr]

I wonder if I'm in the minority here, I actually like the older bikes better than say the 08-09 models when comparing the big 4. For instance I'd take an 08 Honda CBR 1000RR for sure, but I like the looks of my 04 better. Ok you want to talk about the fact that the 08 is lighter, more powerful etc.... For a rider with my skills big f-ing deal, none of that comes into play at my skill level.

I personally think that the bikes in the 2003-2006 era depending on brand are about the best blend comfort, styling, performance. Most had fuel injection during that period.

I just feel like the supersports of today each year are heading more and more away from the street in terms of being practical.

Am I the only one? Lookswise at least, I know performance is better no question
