I don't think there is anything or anybody who is really neutral. I think it's humanly impossible.
The Swizz SHOULD make bikes. Some of the finest engineering in the world comes from there.
I would imagine the motorcycle equivalent of a Rolex and a cuckoo clock. It would be fabulous.

Probably not factors for a one off big trip and a disadvantage when buying a carnet, but when squeezing in riding with the rest of life, new can be better.

Yup.... My XR650L is 20 years old now. It's only done 15,000 miles but it's rusted and rotten. LOT's of restoration needed. Find me a twenty year old 'Ridden' bike that doesn't.
However, they're immensely easier and cheaper to fix and repair than anything modern.
