New CSC TT250/Hawk BETTER than 1970s Japanese bikes?
I'm keen on the TT250/Hawk because it's similar to a bike I had in the mid 80s and I wished I kept it and took better care of it.
Anyway, the point is: IS there reason to think the "clone" TT250 and similar CG250 bikes are better- MUCH better than the bikes 50 years ago? In the 2020s compared to the 70s: Better materials. Better quality control. More precise machining. Better understanding of engine design/physics to "tweek" old designs. Transistorized ignition. Better understanding of maintenance (and people today care more). People today ride & keep bikes for far more mi/km than decades ago? My guess is a new CG250 clone bike will last much longer than if I tried to keep an original if I did all maintenance correctly. I know I'm just thinking without facts, but does all this seem correct?? If I get a TT250, I hope to keep it for more than 30k miles and take the bike to very remote places. Thanks! |
