go on you know you want to....
how could they start with the gl1000 and end up with that fugly piece of shite!
Ah yes. The Fantastic Britten. Remember seeing them racing at Snetterton in the early to mid nineties and then seeing one in the museum in Wellington. RIP John Britten.
RIP Mark Farmer.
Agree with the street tracker look being fantastic, especially the ones from Deus.
Lots of great bikes posted here.. http://www.pipeburn.com/
It was nearer 30 years ago that I had one. Well, two actually. Then a ypvs then an RD400. Ying, and indeed, ding.
25 years ago I had one of these....
My best mate died on one of those many moons ago. 😥 Good lord that thing was quick. 😯
Theflatboy.... Niceish but the cafe racer bikes are not my thing. I prefer it in original form.

epicyclo, very nice, the pictures date you quite a bit!
Is that a Ford V8 Pilot?
Esselg - stunning! Loving the Indian 😀
Wrecker - the Yamaha is also a thing of beauty

It's an Armstrong-Siddeley Whitley (also mine). I got it for peanuts with a frost cracked engine block. Got some special high temp epoxy from Ciba-Geigy, smashed the cracked bits off and then glued it all back together. 🙂 (Yes, it worked).
The Norton Inter was a mate's. It used to frustrate him that my wee Triumph could blow him away, but it was so light I could lift it off the ground.
And more recently

^ a fizzy!, lying flat on the seat in a superman pose could get you the wrong side of 50mph.
my brother had a purple one, with a 65cc big bore kit. most i saw in the speedo was 56mph down the steepish hill in the county
Bimbler - Have Nicolai started doing motorbikes?
amplebrew - MemberA bit of a marmite bike, but I think my GSA is cool...
Motorbike equivalent of an Orange Five, you see frikkin' loads of them and they are way over the top for the ride they're being used on

I know, I know..... 🙄
I made a huge mistake test riding one and instantly falling head over heels with it.
I really love the boxer engines and I'm not old enough to ride an 'RT' or 'R' yet 🙂
That 1200R Classic is the best looking BMW, IMHO.
bimbler - is that Josh Bender's bike? 😉
