1967 Mustang convertible with a 287 or 1968 Camaro convertible with a 302 are classics. Is a 1967 Ford Pinto a classic? Is a 1968 Chevy Chevette a classic? Probably is someone's book, but not in mine. From what I've seen on this particular forum is an appreciation for taking a bike and making it ride and look new again or finding a bike in some guy's garage that is no longer availible at the LBS and making it valuable. I have appreciated the fellowship between people who share that passion to restore. I've also enjoyed the wealth of knowledge from people who like to wrench on bikes. Classic and Vintage are just words that people use to bump up the price.
