Recently @mike willis put up a top 5 Ducati’s post which was fun. How about your top 5 road legal bikes of all time? Make you think a bit I reckon. Mine in no order whatsoever: 1. Bimota KB1 2. Yamaha RD350LC (bounty) 3. Panigale R 4. Honda RC30 5. Ducati 998R Off you go.....
Garelli tiger cross Kawasaki z1b Kawasaki h2 750 98 R1 V4R Lucky enough to have owned all of them except the h2 750! One day!
Aaah but you couldn't buy an R7 as they were all reserved for race teams. My mate went to the NEC with the cash in his pocket and Yamaha would not entertain him. my list 1- 916 Bip - Had One. 2 - RC30 - Always wanted one. 3 - 98 SPS - Got one - but nearly bought a GSXR1000 2005 instead! 4 - Moto Martin GSX1100EX - Had one 5 - 888
1- Ducati Desmocidici 2 - Laverda Jota - boyhood dream 3 - Ducati 916 4 - Urban Tiger Fireblade 5 - MV Augusta F800
I wasn't going to contribute as I have 4 of my 5 and wouldn't want to look like a knobber. But seeing as Exie has put 3 / 5 above, I'll have a bash. I have no real hankering for a really old classic, apart from the value, they seem like difficult to start and ride things. I do need a modern tourer in my life, hence No. 5. 1. Ducati 1098R 2. Yamaha RD350LC 3. Ducati Desmosedici 4. Tuono V4 Factory 5. BMW GS with all the bells and whistles.
In no particular order: 1. Desmocidici 2. Kwak H2R 3. BMW GS 1200 (not sure which variant, as I'm not into them but I acknowledge their greatness) 4. Vincent Black Shadow. 5. 916
