Is it weird that modern bikes kinda bore me and something like a Honda 954 floats my boat?
That twin looks a handful.

You are not alone! But a modern bike which looks like a classic bike would be easier to run - so says my knowledgeable mate. Doesn’t stop me dreaming and looking at CBXs and Z900s though 😁

With you on the 954 - I rode a 929 for a bit and it was absolutely lovely.
I enjoy a wide variety of old shite bikes but would have a couple of new ones too if I had more disposable income. I'm also a prisoner of 'cool bikes of my youth' syndrome, so a total sucker for late 80s through 05-ish.
I've only ridden it around the block but rocketship, it is not. I reckon about 80hp on a good day. It's light though, and the brakes are ASTONISHING. Seriously. New, fancy Brembo radial MC, with 320mm Brembo cast iron discs. The calipers apparently came off a 851 AMA bike. More bite than a meth-ed up alligator.
