Can't argue with 2 of those, but I ended up with a DT50 once as part of a trade in and used it for my commute for a couple of years. Grew to love it, was great fun.
To add to your list, I don't mind people asking questions on here but why do they assume without stating that you know what model and year it is.

Everything made by Yambits is automatically rubbish.
Any modern 4 stroke is automatically rubbish and cant be fun at all.
E10 petrol is absolutely fine in use.

What’s with the Chopper bars and seats our Japanese friends put on their LCs? 🙄 I love my LC but hate the standard skinny wheels! 🤔 Oh yes and the state of the world my Granddaughter is going to inherit! ☹️ 🌍

Anyone got any. Heres a couple of mine Lc`s look shite with Pro am fairings. 50cc 2 strokes are a waste of time and money Anyone who orders a well done steak should be murdered on sight I thought I was the only one that didn't like Pro-Am fairings. Don't like belly pans either. I don't like it when magazines do an article about LCs and use a picture of an LC with the Pro-Am stuff fitted to illustrate it. Back in the day no one I know had them fitted. Mainly because no one had enough spare cash to buy them but that's besides the point. Here's a new one: "no one rode a standard one back in the day." Yes we did. We ended up with crap paint jobs and Microns/Allspeeds and white wheels/red frames because: A) we crashed our bikes and couldn't afford to get them repaired/painted properly and B) we were young and daft and had no sense/style. Now I'm older I realise that nothing looks better than a standard LC straight out of the showroom.

Attaching modern suspension and tires without addressing a shite frame is akin to well done steaks, tofurkey and excess rear wheel cambering on street cars with 150mm exhausts.

Now I'm older I realise that nothing looks better than a standard LC straight out of the showroom. So true for me as well. No one I knew had anything tuned by Stan Stephens either but the mags would have you believe we all did that as well lol. Im still amazed that at the time we managed to keep the bike on the road let alone spend money on stuff like that. Sure bolt ons like pipes went on, what teen doesnt want noisy pipes that make you think youre faster than you are and we did things to make the bikes look 'our own' but never saw a pro am fairing where i lived, even into the 90s etc. I think we acknowledge that LC is a classic bike and was well styled and worked out of the box, thats what its a classic bike now and so sought after. We only changed things to make them our own so you could be spotted easily by your mates as you went by... and sadly also the cops lol. I used to restore 50cc bikes. They are cool and lovely as ornaments, but not great to ride in modern traffic unless youre in a pack. you can also spend the same money doing up a 50 that you can on a bigger bike (apart of the engine) so yes they can be money pits. I dont have one now but i do miss them. I moved into 125s and 200s and they went as well. Maybe im lazy but riding in traffic means you need a turn of speed...

I don't have any unpopular opinions...... I like them all I agree, Im liking most of the stuff listed on here... damn, maybe i 'belong' haha... couple of mine: People who treat forums as facebook and blast out questions without searching for an answer first on google let alone the forum itself. People who arc up and are rude the moment they are asked if they might like to use the search function... Parts from Legend, total shite.

Attaching a load of stuff off a more modern bike and then just presuming it makes it a better bike and other people and bike magazines saying that as well. Calling original LC brakes rubbish when they were definitely not. OK maybe 250 brakes were rubbish.

Bike & car thieves and people that brake in your home or garage to steel should have there thumb removed .
migrants coming over in a boat on the channel should be returned to France and boat confiscated, No processing in the UK .
Fathers should have an equal right to there children in a brake up rather then it automaticaly being the mum that has then with visatation from the fathers.
Bit harsh but thats what i think

Apparently you officially only need to be vaguely familiar with the subject to be called an expert and paraded on the TV news. The modern use of the word "hero" is another example. You used to have to be a passer by and rescue people from certain death in a burning building to be called a hero. Now you can just kick a football.
