I agree with some of those, but come on .... obviously the criteria is variable for each bike, each bike is great for different reasons, hence I think 'Greatest bikes of all Time' is too broad a category ....

its all bullshit,its a generational thing
cb750 maybe,but the z1 ignited the "superbike" phenoena by trying to leapfrog the cb750,and the debate continues..
Doesn't play well with others
The Cub is tops. No argument there.
Any other bikes are merely fighting for second place.

bar hum bug!
By what? Sales, horse-power, looks / appeal, handling, image, top speed, suspension, brakes, safety, production / factory / one off, Road / Trail / MX, race results, or just plain pure lust?
Do you look at leaders in the field, i.e. the first to..., top speed, horse-power, handling, safety.
Do you trust an American show to even come up with such a list?
Me thinks their list is so wrong is so many ways it's almost a joke, they've tried to make it the best of too few classes and bike types!
The number one being on sales alone!
Vespas being one of a hand full of iconic scooter brands, yet Honda being the most successful in sales. Who was the first to produce scooters? who was the first to invent that slush / crash gear box? There is way too many best of's over potentially too many headings such as above to bring it down to just ten.
Correction, being the one that you want between your legs
