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!.

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.

Real shame about your friend mate, but that is one beautiful bike.

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... :coolio:

Well, has to be this...the Vincent Black Lightning........and it shouldn't be too hard a conversion from the Revell Black Shadow......1955_vincent_black_lightning.jpg

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:

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....

Parked today next to one of these babies - probably one of the sexiest bikes nowdays :

The funny thing is... If that had any other badge on, other than Ducati, everyone would be calling it the ugliest bike ever made...

Beautiful

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.......

Funnily enough I was just about to post again and add this one to my list - it's hideousness is absolutely gorgeous :P

I think the Strada version is better myself:

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.

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.
