There is one area of 'old' bikes which have to be right for me; the exhausts. Jap bikes, seemingly especially Kawasaki didn't make their exhausts very durable for the UK. So many old bikes have aftermarket exhausts, or dented and knackered originals. I have a real problem with four stroke bikes that came out of the factory with 4-2 or 4-4 exhausts that have 4-1 on them. Two strokes with Allspeeds or Microns also. All about the originality for me. Getting hold of OEM exhausts seems pretty much impossible or VERY expensive.
