A few observations,   RC30's are more popular than I thought and I'm not alone in my love of old 2 strokesSince I've started my five all time favorite production bikes series I figured I put out a request for what the readers like.  I'll keep this post pinned to the top and copy and paste your choices as they come in one by one. Here is what I'd like to do, Either respond to this post in the

This one is more emotional than logical. It's a big, long, heavy, moderately powered bike. But my oh my does it "speak" to me. The sound and the style... Yep that's number five. But I'll have more honorable mentions over the next few days and I'll probably put together an "anything goes" list here in a few days or so (as opposed to production bikes only) so stay tuned.

If I didn't already have the 916 then I'd have this one. In fact I think I was a bit hasty with the 916. It was a spur of the moment comment about that bike that got this list started before I had given it much thought.

The Vincent Black Lightning and Black Shadow. Jesus.  Talk about ahead of it's time.  I considered the Royal Enfeld Interceptor here but much as I love that bike the Vincents are just all that and more for me.  They speak for themselves really.  Not much else to say.And before you start beating me over the head I know they are not the same bikes and I do know the history.  But in my eye they're

You just know I'd have to get a 2 stroke in here.  It's my first passion after all.  But this one was really tough for me.  Ordinarily it'd be a snap.  Just put up a picture of a TZ750 and call it a day.  But while the TZ was technically a "production" bike it was hardly common much less street legal.   I could go with an RZ500 but it's a non-US bike.  RZ350?  Maybe.. I do love them but they're

I'm going to go ahead and get this curve ball out of the way early.  I know more than a few of you might be scratching your heads a bit but hey it's my list and I freely admit that I have some inconsistent taste in bikes. I like em all. Well, "back in the day", a South Florida dealer was clearing out old stock and had a sweet deal on a "Bumble Bee" black and yellow R100GS as the oilheads were on
