I agree with most of the choices. Sure, the Britten was fantasmical, but should it have been number 1? No way.
The Y2K is bullshit though.
Just faidin away!
One of pyrocam's shorty video's had Jay Leno firing up a jet bike. I thought it was a sound dub send up. It must have been that Y2K machine after all. Silly me! Cheers John.

Have you taken your bike over any sweet jumps?

Sure as hell could not fire the Y2K up in my garage, it would burn all my good poster up and probably melt the missus's washing machine!!! Sure would like to try one as a one off experience though, fark owning one. Imagine trying to get it serviced here, you would probably have to bribe an aircraft engineer somewhere.

Choice,of all the bikes I've owned the C50 was one of the best,I rode it for 7 years,over a steep winding very rutted gravel road every day,it was my pick up truck,carrying everything I could load on it - every 3 weeks I would put $2 of fuel in it.....that's all.

I captured it on the 'puter. I'll encode it tonight.
There was some interesting footage in it.
Since motorbikes are so much to do with personal tastes, I think it's pointless trying to rank them in terms of "greatness".

??? eh.
Is the turbine-powered bike a factory made, production run???
I would have thought this bike to be a "one off" thing done as an experiment/gimmick.
Just trying to find out more about it. google time.

Unlike most of you, I don't have a problem with the Cub being No 1.
I learnt to ride on a Vespa that was identical to the red restored one they had on the show.
The Y2K didn't count, IMHO. But I'd love to try one, just like I'd like to have a go in an F-16.
The Moto Guzzi V8 - that sound!!! Has to be the best sounding bike ever, I reckon.
The Britten - revolutionary, but TOO exclusive... a question though - if they could build a replica and sell it for $35000, how many would buy it? I would do my damnest to try and get one.
But I waited, and waited, and where was the Vincent Black Shadow/Lightning?
Yeah, the Brough was cool (did you see the OCC homage bike?), but the Vincent would have been my pick.
Bastards.

And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

Must admit, had a Honda Cub myself once. The Y2K sounded awesome when started up, but to go anywhere - you would need to be followed by a petrol tanker!
The CB750, it was the first of its type.
