So after the recent interest on the subject, I thought I might put up something to test the good guys and gals on this.
Bling awarded as usual for first correct response including year, make, model and engine size.

All three are spy photos of BMWs prototypes for the 2008 MotoGP build to the exact parameters recommended by the EU Government Motoring body.
By 2011 we will all be ridng these babies as MotoGP technology trickles down to our road bikes.

Too old for me to even bother throwing a wild guess at them. For me having been into motorbikes for the relatively very short time that I have, and being the relatively young age that I am, I wouldn't have a shit show of identifying them. I was into cars for a long time before I got into bikes around 18 moths ago. Now I've all but forgotten about cars! ;)

Sorry babyB, neither ID is right, but some letters are correct, if that helps any, and you are in the right general age bracket.

BabyB is correct on #2, 1935 Praga 350cc.

Where do you turf all of these up, Macktheknife? I'm astounded at those who can identify them, my bike identification skills are piss-poor outside of 1980s Honda 250s.
