Here is another one of my XS650s, does it qualify as a classic ?? It's a 1977D model.

Here is one of mine.

Here ia a Honda PA50 that I bought new for my daughter in 1979... it's got 800 miles on the clock and is in mint condition. Small, but still old enough to be a classic...but is it considered a classic ??
