Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

Thinking of buying an old triumph for me and the missus to potter about on. She hates pillion on the gsxr (can't blame her.) I hate that we go everywhere by car as a result.
Thought about one of the new ones but they're so fat and heavy I don't see the point.

Nahhhh I reckon 71-79 Bonny as the Oil in frame models are dirt cheap here.

Talk me into / out of it!

If you enjoy spending much of your time tinkering with tools and fixing stuff rather than riding go for it.
