When it comes to management of fuel injection and ignition I think there will always be the possibility of keeping a car or bike on the road because, if a replacement OEM ECU is not available, it will always be possible to fit an alternative. The problem becomes much more complex when you factor in ABS and traction control, specific electronic instruments etc. When some of these parts are no longer available the car becomes a museum piece. It is in the nature of limited production cars that you can't just go to your nearest breaker yard and pick up a second hand part.

So I agree, it will be very difficult for modern cars and bikes to be still usable as a classic vehicle in 30 years time. By then I will be 103 so probably won't be all that worried about it.
