Old is new again

KIWI RIDER

We live in interesting times.

You only have to look at what’s happening on the motorcycle scene.

On the one hand the major manufacturers seem hell-bent on an electronic/interventionist future. On the other, motorcycle enthusiasts - you know, the people who actually buy bikes are looking to the past for their inspiration.

Take Mambo founder Dare Jennings. Fascinated by the intricate largely Yamaha SR500based customs he saw being built in Japan he created Deus ex Machina, a motorcycle-based workshop/clothing brand/coffee house/force of nature which now has outlets in Sydney, Bali and Los Angeles.

MOTORCYCLE-THEMED In Auckland meanwhile, expat Aussie Douglas Rikard-Bell is ploughing a similar but equally distinctive furrow with his Shed 5 and York Street Mechanics operations, motorcycle-themed and anchored hospitality businesses with a strong, contemporary design ethos.

What this means to the average Kiwi motorcyclist – if there is such a thing – I’m not quite sure.

But when I’m talking to a friend who spends most of his time in America these days and he proffers his iPhone so I can scroll through pictures of the old CB500 he has customised in what I will call the ‘new-vintage’ style I know something is up.

With so many ‘retro-style’ models already available it would appear that the motorcycle industry has already responded to this need for some sort of historical connection. But I’m not sure

REGULAR CONTRIBUTORS: Roger Moroney,

that’s what I’m talking about.

More, I think, the industry needs to be making at least one or two – not all – models simpler, rather than more complicated.

For inspiration they need only refer to the K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) principle.

The argument for complexity, of course, is compelling, and is largely driven by the need to comply with ever stricter Health, Safety and Environmental

‘If you look at the car world, Mazda, I think, got it pretty much right first time with the MX5.

As has Toyota with the new 86 coupe’ ordinances. Scientists and engineers love nothing more than pushing the boundaries of their discipline either. It’s what they do.

But that doesn’t mean EVERY bike has to bristle with sensors for this, that and the next thing.

If you look at the car world, Mazda, I think, got it pretty much right first time with the MX5.

As has Toyota with the new 86 coupe.

Honda, I think is on the right track with its new NC 700 and CBR 500 models. But it’s still not quite there.

What do you think?

As always we value feedback here at KR so if you’ve got an opinion e-mail it to editor@kiwirider.co.nz or get on our facebook page.

Oh and by the way, hope you like our new, tweaked, look. Expect more fiddling over the next few months. Because we’re not quite done yet!
