That weird bike, that your mates do not get, that you want one day

[T.W.R]

Ya know what, thought about that myself but it wouldent be no side car trying to be a bike.. it be a real trick, start with this sort some decent body work out and super charge the bitch... yeah as sad as it is I ride the fuker.

thought you liked being able to get around corners reasonably quickly

It'd cost you an arm & a leg to keep the Hoosiers on the sod
and hopefully you wouldn't be like that sod that was at the woodstock a few years ago with that big caramel coloured tank starting up every 30mins then letting it idle in the small wee hours

Least with the Krauser you still sit on the thing like a bike

My friends tried to talk me out of Ducatis (all except Laxi) until they saw what I bought...........

I'd strongly disagree with a couple being on that list.
1997 Bimota V-Due
They look pretty good to me.

Yeah whats up with that.
They call the post "Top 10 ugliest bikes".......then put a bike in because it doesn't run.
Something tells me intelligence is lacking if they think Ugly = not working.

I think the VDUE is one of the sexiest bikes ever made. Would love to have one instead of a TV in the living room.

maybe one day when age decides 2 wheels are a bit of a handful

You mean after you wrecked it you start rebuilding it for a chair, like this one ?

Watched Raisin Arizona on TV 4 today with Nicholas Cage and a Body Hunter Bikie. A brilliant movie that I did see many years ago. My mind then went to Ghost Rider 2 where Cage rides a VMax. And I remembered the VMax I did see at last w/e's Bay MC One Night Stand. I had always considered a VMax as something I would never ride. But as I was looking at the bike I could hear her say: "I don't give a fuck what you think!" And I realised that there was an attitude in a VMax that I can appreciate. And she would need to be mentioned here

Does Conquiztador get a prize for the oldest thread dredge up?

[Banditbandit]

Yeah .. and for very bad taste .. A V-Max ?????

[HenryDorsetCase]

I'd like a Benelli Sei.

and a Laverda in orange with the big fuck-off front drum brake.

I wear that badge with the pride and respect it deserves!
First VMax came out in 1985. It stayed basically unchanged to 2008. The new version, from 2009, is still made today. Not bad for a huge and heavy bike that many would have considered as something that never would sell... Yep, I like that many don't get it!

And.... the other is the Munch Mammuth. The old original one with a NSU 4 cylinder car motor. They had to replace the spoked wheels with full magnesium ones as the bike would rip them outta the rim. The fastest production motorcycle in its time.

One day...

Gosh that's what I lusted after once - but then I also thought a Velocette Noddy bike had potential.


It was superceded when a 74 MV 750 transfixed me on start up back in the 70's

Old CB200 Honda. In red. Only because it was the first bike I ever owned.

[Old Steve]

I'd like a Benelli Sei.

Hey HDC, I like your thinking. I was just about to say I'd like a Honda CBX1000, love the look of that wide wide engine and that long rocker cover that seems to go right across the bike. I've heard they have a suspect crankshaft.

But I liked the look of the Benelli Sei, and they did a 900 later in the model life I think.

My boss here in QLD is renovating a Kwaka 6 cylinder, 1400?
