1950 - 1959 : These British, German and American bikes rule the roost
1960 - 1969 : You know what it seems these new Japanese bikes are not Jap scrap, they are outrunning my Triumph and BSA whilst being super reliable !
1970 - 1979 : Holy smokes these bike has some go, the chassis and suspension cant keep up - have you seen that new H1 !
1980 - 1989 : Mid 80's the real superbikes and race replicas start to appear with handling to match and we get to buy bikes close to those who race the Paris Dakar, hit that synth beat !
1990 - 1999 : Superbikes become the mainstay and adventure bikes starts to get heavier and get more cylinders
2000 - 2009 : EFI and ABS starts making their appearance, bikes become even heavier
2010 - 2019 : Goodness how did guys ever ride bikes without TFT screens, 8 rider modes, and traction control !

For me it's easy, the 80's ! After all the decade the Tenere was born  >:D
