Agreed, but the working folks short of cash with 2-wheel dreams will likely be scooter owners - no driveline maintenance, at least some weather protection, crazy-high fuel efficiency.
The folks buying Bullets & other rolling antiques cherried-out by others are by and large monied trophy hunters. You can't possibly coexist with a pre-unit bullet unless you either do all the maintenance/repair yourself or have a big enough box of play money to pay others (very) well to do it for you. They take continuous care and a steady (hopefully small..) stream of parts & lubricants to remain happy. If that's not your idea of a good time, you probably wouldn't like wooden boat ownership either.
Even your lovely well-sorted GT535 UCE would have become a horrendous money pit if you had payed others to do all of the work that YOU personally did. Possession of a running antique that others maintain just denotes the size of your wallet, not a personal accomplishment. It becomes in a sense an acquired "big game" trophy: the game guide lined up the animal, handed you the gun, finished killing, skinning & processing the animal. Paying for airline tickets, permits, guide fees and taxidermy doesn't make you a mighty hunter. Mere possession isn't a guarantor of proficiency & accomplishment, but it does connote this to others unschooled in the craft.
