Two of them are fancy enough that they include a clock.

Man after my own heart!

I have one of those, it's a nearly 30 year old motorcycle, engineered in the 80's. Still gets 30mpg all day long. Gets more if I'm easy on the throttle and doing longer trips. But the clock is rarely right (battery is often dead cause I'm lazy).

My only complaint is bloody carbs. Uggh. Those things are 19th century black magic (and I grew up working on engines with carbs, so I understand, but loathe them). Fuel injection was a game changer for automotive reliability. Fortunately you can buy add-on FI for most car engines, and it just works.
