Mine's 26 years old, and I don't think of it as "old".

Evo and older.

In the words of Arnold in the last Terminator movie "Old, not obsolete"

15-20 years is old. Like I don't consider a 2000 decade bike old, but I would a 90's

With apologies to Omaha because that bike looks great. Orange is cool!

Classic car license plate is 20 years old. I'm good with 20 years as old.

For bikes, its models. At least to me, all Twinkies are late models. Evo's and older..... classics.

Two or more styles back, so Pre-Evo.

1993 Nostalgia - Not old enough to be a collector, not old enough to be vintage, so I guess I'm in the some have heard of it and some never have zone.

Was going to take it up to a ''cruise-in'' but the stipulation was it had to be at least 30 years old.

Omaha...Beautiful Bike
