For me: 1970 Triumph Bonneville 650. Although, the Norton P11 Scrambler comes close...

Define accessible, a dedicated fellow who puts all his money in a bike can do amazing things...

Mark 1 Le Mans, sexiest thing I ever saw until I met my wife. I still got the hots for one though.

I like the 1000S more.. and the Police Eldorado should be there too.

V11 Sport Greenie......

......but since it's mine, totally inaccessible.

Aaron D. · « **Reply #6 on:** February 21, 2015, 05:42:22 PM »

So many choices, I've always loved the Velocette Thruxton, the tank on the MV sport bikes (the early '70s), I voted with my wallet on V7 Sport, LeMans and Sport 1100, plus Laverda's triple.

A '67 Bonneville, a '70 Daytona, a Commando..shoot.

Funny how all the replies so far are about European and British bikes. And yes, that green V11 is awesome...

If I had to pick a Japanese bike, it would be the bronze and black 1972 Yamaha R5 350cc twin....

My locker pinup in Vietnam was a red Norton P11, carried a pict of an R-65 US in my wallet, along with a photo of the gal I am now married to. Never got either bike. :(

Dusty- I thought the toaster tanks a bit gaudy on a Beemer. ;D ;D

Always had a soft spot for the early Moto Morini 3 1/2 Sport

1976 BMW R90S in the Daytona Orange color. I bought one of these (new) in December of 1975 and sold it a couple of years later. Always regretted it. The bike was a rolling piece of artwork. Hand painted, pin striping and the sunburst paint is just something that factories don't produce any more.

R100RS in White.

Can I say the Ducati 916? Granted, it was expensive for it's day, but what a beauty.

lucydad · « **Reply #22 on:** February 21, 2015, 08:09:05 PM »

Kawasaki Mach III 500.

Pure sex.

Total hard on.

Stormtruck2 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 21, 2015, 08:23:51 PM »

Moto Guzzi Centauro. From the side the line reminds me of a sexy italian woman laying on her side. THe rear (the feet) rises up to the seat (the hips) then dips down to to the bottom (her waist) then rising again up to the tan (her beautiful breast) then down to the headlight (her head).

I bought a Loop because I think they are the most beautiful.

But my all time favorite:

Fastback Commando.

Next in line after the LM1000, already in the yard waiting.

rboe · « **Reply #26 on:** February 21, 2015, 11:04:14 PM »

Ooooh, I vote for the Sunbeam! For a modern bike, the Kawasaki W650 is dare good looking.

1969 BSA Royal Star

krglorioso · « **Reply #28 on:** February 21, 2015, 11:16:06 PM »

The 1989 Honda GB-500 single. I bought a new one 25 years ago and decided it was too nice to ride. It sits in my dining room (wife's suggestion) growing more valuable by the day. I love to look at it. Better than any oil painting. Plus, if I rode it, I would lose Guzzi seat time.

Ralph , those GB 500s were amazing . Probably my favorite Japanese MC .
