What is the coolest bike EVER!

[Jackrat]

Harleys Sportster,Born in 1957 just like me, and in continuous production ever since.
Find another bike with that history or following,

the Moto Guzzi V8 2 stroke racer,

Umm... thats a four stroke ma man, w/c quad cam 4valve per/cyl, and for some reason came to mind when I read the thread title aswell failing that the NR750

[Motu]

The XLV750 is pretty cool,especially the red white and blue model,one of the most 'special' Hondas ever built.

But the coolest bike ever has to be the Vincent Vtwin,with not much money to use Phill and Phill designed a bike to the best of their engineering knowledge and materials of the time,never before and maybe not again has a bike broken out of the mould of it's time.I'm sure the Vincent experts could tell you all about it,but shit,it's an absolute masterpiece in every respect,the fastest thing on the roads for decades...and after.I remember when Ken MacIntosh used to ride the Egli Vincent at Puke,a 30 yrs old motor just loafing around cleaning up the latest bike of the time.

You know, the Toyota Corolla's been in continuous production forever, but that doesn't make it cool.

The first ride on your first bike - whatever it is, is the coolest moment. Left me addicted for life.
Mine was a Honda XL100 trail bike

You know, the Toyota Corolla's been in continuous production forever, but that doesn't make it cool.

Open the bonnet of the first Corolla and then compare it to the latest - try and find anything they have in common apart from 4 cyls.Take a look at old and new Sportsters - sure they both look out of the ark,but you find more the same than not.XR750s are cool...waaaay cool!

Douglas Dragonfly. The name alone sets it apart.

Hey Jackrat : I think Triumph would all so count . Sensei

[Motoracer]

I'll have my rice burning silver 04 R1 fanx!

[FROSTY:Me]

The coolest bike of all time so far - that is just impossible to call.
I have a huge soft spot for the xj900 but then the cbr600 was like --OHH yea baby when it came out

[boris]

the two wheel drive yamaha wr 450 in sawyer is the coolest new bike i have seen in a long time.
My proflex mt-bike is cool too,the new rocket 3 is to ugly to be cool.

It would have to be the Britten, when you consider what an accomplishment it was, and how many innovations it incorporated. And it looks kewl!

Hard thing to quantify, kewlness, as it's so subjective, but it would have to be "what would turn the most heads as it went down the road, and would attract the most attention parked?" or summat like that.
That would still be the Britten, but the jet bike and Vincent Black Shadow would still be up there.
For the less discerning, probably some very noisy chopper loaded with lots of bling and an outrageous paintjob.

That's funny. I thought they'd stopped them spraying oil everywhere and bits falling off...
