So I like old diesel Mercedes cars. They are a joy to drive, solid, dependable, easy to find inexpensive parts for, and when maintained last almost forever. There is a huge following...

Now I want a motorcycle to add to my collection.

Is there a motorcycle that also fits this description?

Everything I see is plastic and seems less than the Mercedes standard.
