Yes, but they had more bodywork and more of a mudguard over the rear wheel then, but I agree , bring that back. It's the current fashion of having nothing much over the rear wheel that is the problem. Use that space over the rear wheel and have some storage space as far as I am concerned.

Fair comment.
Ditching the tail actually also saved some weight (about half a Kg), which was another reason it felt worth doing to me (in conjunction with some other weight reductions). Depends what you are used to I suppose, having done most of my riding since 2004 on KTM singles, I'm used to bikes around 40Kg lighter !
