When I was a kid my father took us (me and a few of my friends) dirt riding most weekends. He subscribed to a few bike magazines and I fell in love with the '69 Kawasaki 500, aka the "Blue Streak". I was 11 at the time, so by the time I had moved out and could buy one they were ~8 years old, and I can tell you that neither the handling nor the brakes improved with age. Pretty much put me off street bikes for life. Almost 30 years later I can still hear the fins on those cylinder heads ringing when someone fires up a two-stroke engine around me.
