    (with some bias I admit) Honourable mention to the GPz900R - predecessor to the ZZR1100 and successor to the Z900

    1984, 16 valve, water cooled, first of it's kind, took the double at the IoM I believe? Very impressive on the track. Certainly wasn't perfect but a flagship in sportsbike development none the less.

    Can't argue with that either! I used to look forward to my rounds in the area.

    I learned to ride on my Mum's BSA Bantam 125, so while not an Earth shattering marvel, must have been one of the world's most popular little bikes for learning on!

    Suzuki GS750 - wasn't the first or the biggest inline four, but certainly the best allround package (brakes, handling & power)
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    I concur. The GPZ900 was also the only bike that made the 16" front wheel feel nice too!

    A bike that apart from cosmetics has not changed since 1971.....

    Likewise the equivalent EL/XR bikes.

    The DT has gone through more engine facelifts, frame facelifts, suspension facelifts......than Dolly Parton

    2 (wire) was cool
    3 (popup) was the stylish one
    4 (fairing) was HORRIBLE FAT BASTARD
    5 (anniversary) was choice
    ....

    RG500 anyone? They appear to be very nice bikes.

    I really do like the big 2 stroke sports bikes from the 1980's.

    Most popular BMW ever. I think it deserve a place now... barely.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
