What do YOU think?

I agree with most, but admit I'm not familiar with the Y2K.

My favorite would be the Britten.

Re: Top ten bikes of ALL time?

Wow, I don't know where to begin.

Let's start with the Vespa, it's not a motorcycle!

I guess you could put the Guzzi V8 on there but they made to many great bikes to put that one at the top.

Y2k a motorcycle with a jet engine.


Honda cub is only there because of sheer numbers of bikes made. If I'm making a list of BEST all time there is no way a cub beats out a Ducati 916.


The CB750, Bonnie, and 916 all belong because they set the standard for their day

Re: Top ten bikes of ALL time?

The top 10 motorcycles of all time, or the top 9, or 8, or 7, or 6........

Are the ones that you personally owned and enjoyed. Other's opinions don't count with bikes. It a seat-of-the-pants experience that's one-on-one.

My top 10 are in this order from latest to earliest;

KLR650
Triumph Rocket 3 Classic
T100 Bonneville/sidecar
HD Tourglide Classic
Yamaha Seca 750
Yamaha XS 650B
Yamaha 250 DT3
Husquavarna 400 CR
KTM 250 ISDT Jack Penton Special
Kawasaki H3 750 triple

I could go on but my memory is fuzzy. Some Bultaco's, a Maico or two, various Suzuki's and some Hodaka's plus a Norton and a Beezer and a 45 HD Servicar somewhere back there.......
