Welcome to the forum.
If you like the beauty of a vintage bike, then there is nothing that can match them. When the manufacturers try to, they so frequently muddle them up.
The thing with vintage bikes is that you won't get the modern technology, but what you will get is tried and true, and like a good suit, you can get years out of it. The only difference is with a suit it can be boring, and with a bike, it can be traditional, and still have some pop to it.
Hopefully you will join in to some conversations too, along with soaking it in.
