Assuming it is well tuned up. 1980‘s Honda Magna series.
New bikes have better brakes, better suspension; making the bikes safer when running faster; and thus new bikes are less safe. Statistically, modern motorcycles have three times the injuries and deaths per accidents.
About the same. newer bikes are cleaner running, some better brakes- but encourage rider problems. Old bikes are fussy sometimes- but riders don't get too tempted to do silly things like the new 'sports' bike riders. Define 'old'- my 1960s /2 BMWs brakes weren't as good as 1980 Honda, but newest cycles don't have that much better brakes than Goldwing GL1000.
I believe so. The unsafest part of any motorcycle is always the loose nut behind the bars. I rode mostly '80s Honda until 2006 when I got a new HD - 3 months after buying a 1980 CB750 for a commuter. I like drum rear brakes because I've never had any issue with them and they stop me just fine. It had dual discs up front, newer ones aren't much better (and I despise ABS).
It became magnificent while they equipped it, yet now it is in keeping with 40+ 12 months previous technologies. we are nonetheless construction spaceships that place self assurance in burning something that became invented in the time of global conflict II. The commute looks laughably previous with no longer something yet rubber (?) O-rings retaining the astronauts from catastrophe and clay tiles (?) with glue (!) retaining them from the warmth of re-get admission to. i be attentive to it will be awhile earlier and if some sort of electro-magnetic rigidity container would be designed, yet we've been meant to have finished provider clever robots and flying automobiles by potential of now.
