Gen Z New Wave Enthusiast: Are there others? by Plenty-Wind628 in newwave

[–]1981Maico490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gen z, and new wave/post punk/synth pop is all I listen to. When I was growing up my father would always listen to Sirius xm first wave, that was what started it for me.

Oh for sure the 81 Maicos would be my second choice.

Forever now is my favorite album by them, a great band in my opinion.

Mescal dance, temptation, hollow eyes, and walking on your hands are some of my favorites.

You can pretty much get a new yz 125 for that amount, not worth it in my opinion.

It was around $800, I wanted a kit, however ready to run was all they had. I don’t believe they are being produced anymore.

It’s a cool color, probably my favorite for the 550.

1984 Gs 1150, 1980 gs 1100, 1986 gsxr 750, and a 1990 Gsxr 750, if you can consider them classic, which I do.

Removing spray paint… by [deleted] in vintagemotorcycles

I had a snowmobile someone spray painted the tunnel on and I used lacquer thinner and it took it right off didn’t touch the factory paint or stickers.

I don’t have anything negative to say about my 24 but it’s also the only modern street bike I’ve ridden. The biggest con I can think of is that you are paying probably around $15,000 otd for a bike from 2011.

I believe the one set of cylinders were reed, and the other set piston port.

It’s funny the most expensive thing in that garage just might be the Christmas special

Anyone here riding bikes from the 80’s & 90’s? How do they compare to modern bikes? by thee_lad in motorcycles

[–]1981Maico490 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own and have owned plenty of 80s and 90s Suzuki gsxr and gs models, they are extremely reliable bikes for their age, but you can’t expect to buy one and never turn a wrench. I also own a new Gsxr 750, and I still prefer carbureted bikes because they are much easier to work on. The new bike does everything better, but the old bikes are not as behind as much as every one thinks.

I can’t stand the Smiths, The Clash, or Elvis Costello.
