Well, as I looked around at the pictures in the "show yourself" site last week, I was surprised (maybe I shouldn't have been?) at the number of guys who looked my age. So if they are concerned about future sales they had better care what we think. Also, since I have old Trumpets, like you do Ian, you'll understand I was instantly attracted by the marriage of new styling and old styling on my BA, so I figure the marketing guys are trying to straddle the fence between us old geezers and the younger cruiser crowd. If they take away the old styling bits that we find attractive, they will loose half their base sales of this model, and I would hate that.
