My buddy Scott has their front and rear. I need to take a good look at them as well.
So I need to take a closer look at ATO, Pelfry, & Brute.

I had a Honda Z50 when I was a kid... looked very similar. Rode this shit out of that thing. Wish I still had it... come to think of it.. I have no idea where it went.

They have another retro model + a nice duel sport that are coming out this season. All are severely overpriced IMHO. They had the whole bike scene going crazy three months ago when they were revealing teasers. All are pretty cool, but way too much $$ for bikes that still need to be serviced at intervals like Austrian bikes IMHO.
For that kind of money you can find an original that is not as pretty and run it. I had a little Honda 50 growing up and ran the hell out of it for many years. Great little bike and finding another one would be cool but not for that kind of money.
And remember, people spend $5k-$10k on boosting an engine. I would say that Honda will give you just as many smiles.
Very true; but that Honda will not do anything for helping move my 4Runner when loaded down with gear.

But when it breaks, and some day it will, you be able to go run for parts.

Don't fill her up. Less gear weight = ability to go more places. Easy for a single guy who's been camping out of a Subaru for the past 3 years to say
Downsizing my gear has really let me enjoy my time away a ton more. I never though of less being more, but to me it has been. Less time packing prior to the trips & less clean up after the trips = priceless. Pretty sure all my kitchen camping gear weights and takes up less space than one of the cast iron pans I used to take with me camping. The days of taking 20# propain tanks camping are long gone. Now it's low and slow over the coals and I enjoy it more.

Another reason I try to do as much maintenance and system check work in the garage and not on the trail. After my 22Kill Ruck march last weekend I know I can still do a 10 mile walk like I used to.

My Sammich Maker and I have done a pretty decent job of cutting down the unnecessary stuff but when there are two people there is some bulk no matter what. Plus there is a level of creature comfort I am not going to ask her to give up since she is crazy enough to do some of these trips with me. So I am working towards a happy middle ground between weight/ bulk/ and capability. Thankfully my 4Runner has never left me wanting anything in the capability department.

This is a combo! One reason I like to do ultra-light backpacking trips - no sleeping bag, no tent, just some food, good company and water filtration. The problem is that most all of my friends have gotten WAY too soft to join me!
