Guest Fox Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Interesting reading from UK mag MCN. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/nav?page=mot...-EXTRA_FEATURES They must be saving the Guzzis for the final 20
Guzzirider Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Just read MCN- Le Mans Mk1 was number 15. Ducati 916 was voted number 1. Guy
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 I gave up when I found the MGS-01 wasn't on the list. Oh well!
Admin Jaap Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Why don't we do a vote here? I could start a poll. Mail/PM me your Top 5 and after a week or so I'll whip up the poll.
Skeeve Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Why don't we do a vote here? I could start a poll. Mail/PM me your Top 5 and after a week or so I'll whip up the poll. 44316[/snapback] Top 5? That's an awful small sample size to come up with a reasonable "50 greatest bikes" list! O.K., here goes: 1: 1914 Thor. Why? It's a V-twin, it kicked Harley & Indian ass, & it's named after a comic-book hero! What more could you ask for? 2: 1915 Militaire. Why? Shaft drive in-line 4 & hub-center steering, bayBEE! 3: 1915 Scot Flying Squirrel. Why? Lightweight, water-cooled 2-stroke twin POWER, bayBEE! 4: 1967 Honda CB750 K0. Why? 'Cause it changed the motorcycling WORLD, baby! 5: 1974 Ducati 750 bevel-drive desmo roadster. Why? 'Cause I got to see Cook Nielson smoking an entire field of Superbike Kawi Z-1s only to have them all overhaul him by the end of the front straight at Ontario Speedway back in the days before they shut down the track & put up a f@#$%#@ shopping mall! Sorry, due to the enforced limit of 5 choices, I have to say that nothing important in the field of motorcycles occurred between the early 1920s and mid 1960s...
