The Motard is indeed a knockout. I can't wait to see it in person....as for top ten of all time...here is my stab in no particular order:
1. 1914 Cyclone or 1915 Indian 8-V Board Track bikes...they have the same esthetics, so both!
2. late Indian Chief sans fako fringe.
3.Vincent Series C Black Shadow
4.Early Gen HD Sportster '57 or so.
5.BSA Gold Star in Clubman trim
6.Velocette Venom
7. Norton Commando -any year as long as in black.
8. Early HD XR750
9. Duc 750SS - green frame, natch!
10. BMW R90S - my choice is Daytona Orange.
I wouldn't read much - if anything - into the lack of current stuff. I think it takes a lot of time to absorb and determine what endures.
On a different day and in a different mood, my list WOULD be different.
oh, honorable mention:
Bultaco Alpina or Metralla
Any pre-unit Triumph
916 and/or any Monster
BMW R32
Naked early 70's MV 750's
Any orange Laverda
Yes, he said almost with some reluctance - the original Katana...yes, I confess...I still like it.
If my mood changes today - most likely since business email is distressingly active today - I may be back with more choices extracted from my nether regions.
