Second post :). When the 1984 Shadow came out was it a good looking bike? Cause it sure as **** isnt now lol. Cant wait to get cutting mine apart. I wonder if Prince still has his "eye catcher"? hmm

It has a dated look, but they looked good in their own way. As always, some loved the look, others hated it, but they sure sold a boat load of them and many seem to still be around today.

Diversity is one aspect that makes our sport interesting. From the very begining, back around the turn of the last century, the inventors had differing ideas about what was the best looking or the best way to go about handling a task. Sometimes utility wins out and sometimes just something that catches the eye. Different people put their priorities in different places and that's why no one idea wins the prize in all cases. I still love to see a perfect example of a motorcycle that I never would have purchased but that doesn't mean that I can't understand why another one would have.
