i have bikes from 1979 and the alloy that i polished is still polished and i haven't touched it in years.

the fz from '86 seems a little less durable, but still simple and easy to maintain

tdm build is great and again simple to fix.

Â

on modern bikes, they tend to be coated now so have inferior materials IMHO. the only exception is the engines which have great power outputs and tech to make it easier to use the power.
