What's your opinion on water-cooled bikes?

Should they be Evo or "Evil"? I'm torn because I was given an 83 CR250 that I'm gonna restore for competition, but I've kinda been of the opinion that "real" Vintage/Evo bikes should be air-cooled. How does everyone else feel?

Restore it, race it, have fun and worry about the semantics later :) If you feel "evil" get an air-cooled bike and race both :D

Maybe I'm just afraid I'll like water-cooled too much and never want to go back. LOL

I borrowed a Yamaha WR400F for grins and loved the modern suspension and torque. However it doesn't have that special something of a "classic" bike. I intend to continue riding my 1979 CR250R in the Evo 2/GP2 class, and the 1987 in Decade when it is ready. Best of both worlds.
