Nostalgia is a sentimentality for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations. In this case Motorcycles.
Here is B.C. along with the nostalgia you can get collector insurance status providing the bike is 25 years old, stock and in excellent shape.
You apply by filling out the form, take specific pictures and wait for approval. Once approved year long insurance is dirt cheap. You can't drive
back and forth to work but I will be retired soon enough and have the RS. If I insure for five years the bike will be paid for with the savings.
I was hoping to find a nice Honda 500 Interceptor but that has not materialized. I found a 85 Suzuki GS750E with less than 10k km. Took the bike for a ride.
It made me giggle and the bike was tight. I was amazed that the stock tires are still on the bike, and look good. No I won't be riding on 40 year old tires. New tires of stock size are
difficult to find. If you are familiar with the E and ES model of that time they have 16 inch front and 17 rear with an aspect ratio of 90. I would like Pirelli sport demons but cant find a set.
The only set I can find is Battlax BT46 without looking at Shinko or Kenda. I will replace all brake lines also
I put a small deposit down on it so it should be coming home soon.
Past collector bikes I have had, 1982 Gpz 750, Yamaha DT125
