D1fuN0 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Howdy chaps and chapesses Very easy, what bike just makes you go phhhhwaaaaaaaar and weak at the knees, and can you produce a model of them? I have three... (no particular order) The Indian 442... Have the GS one in the stash, but waiting till I get my Masocist and flagelents badge's before I attempt it. Ducati 900ss Built 2, have 2 in the stash. The sexiest italian bike ive ever seen... (pass the lotion please) Aaaaaand The Guzzi V7 Cafe Racer My God!!!

nicE1 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 This was a very special bike to me! as I helped build it! It belonged to the chap sitting on it who was my best mate who sadly died of cancer shortly after this photo was taken! alas I don't know what happened to the bike! it got sold shortly afterwards! but it certainly had that phhhhwaaaar factor!. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 The Z 1300 Kawasaki , but you try finding it now. When it first came out, the real one, the test rider burnt the rear tyre out after a few runs up the main strip of Malta Airport. 130 bhp in standard tuning, the beast if ever there was one.

Well spooky, how does the saying go, 'I know a bloke...' One of my friends is selling his, so if you can figure out a way of fitting it a suitcase, ill bring it over at christmas... Well, has to be this...the Vincent Black Lightning........and it shouldn't be too hard a conversion from the Revell Black Shadow......

HammerUK9 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 It would have to be: My dad's old Triumph Thunderbird (tragically sold about 5 years ago, recently replaced with a Ducati Monster) The Ural Cobra: (one of the Russian bikes my dad used to import) But top of the list, I'm soo sorry, has to be this: Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 The Benelli sixes, at a time when the Japanese manufacturers still had to build a six. At the time the Japanese were dumping low priced scooters onto the European market. Benelli gave the Italian govenrnment an ultimatum stop the imports or I close my factories. Unumployment in the motorcycle industry was one of concern at the time. This is the 750 but if I remember they went up to 1100cc's, didn't they look good? I found this on Google along with lots of pics of there very tasty looking racers from the 5o's and 60's plus all the mew road bikes. I can but dream....

If that had any other badge on, other than Ducati, everyone would be calling it the ugliest bike ever made... Beautiful Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggers Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Has to be number 1!! Close number 2.... And number 3.... See....no Harleys!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1fuN0 Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 Ahhh, no Harleys.... (sulk). RSV, mhhhh maybe, that german thing.... erm????, but the 916...... (lotion please matron...) When Ive finished my trip down memory lane bikes, im going to do the Tamiya 916, and do the bodywork in Black Carbon Fibre decals. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Ive finished my trip down memory lane bikes, im going to do the Tamiya 916, and do the bodywork in Black Carbon Fibre decals. Steve Aprilia? Without doubt! The BMW RR is simply "amazing"!! It's got MotoGp technology all over it.....don't like the anti-wheelie though! 916? Nuff said!! I have the Tamiya Ducati 916 built ages ago in Ducati Red from Steve at Zero. But......I have got the Dexter "Senna" 1995 kit! She'll be Metallic Grey body with carbon belly pan, bronze frame, red wheels & the rest in carbon! Wing mirrors, heel guard, mudguard & chain guard! Oh yes & all the nuts, bolts, fixtures & fittings that I can possibly throw at a 1/12 bike!! It's "Senna" after all....... ATB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggers Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 That'll be some dirt great fence that it'll be sitting on!! The SIZE of it??? ATB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pte1643 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I've had a go on a Diavel. They look like they weigh a Ton, but they are surprisingly light... And go like stink. But, yeah, it's probably the ugliest bike in the current range. I'm still trying to think of my top three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Ah, hard to choose, but I think I'd put as my no.1 the Munch Mammut, no.2; 500cc Manx Norton and no.3.....is undecided yet. Sorry no pictures, but I'm sure you know what these common M'bikes look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injidup Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Suzuki RG500 - my dream bike when I "only" had an RD350LC Ducati 916 - or MV Augusta F4 (so hard to choose between them) And although I don't like Harleys I used to love the dark looks of the XLCR1000 cafe racer. One to own rather than ride, I think: It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
