[Stev-o]

Very nice, Ken.   I'd like to ride that Bonnie!

[Retro Rocket]

That Bonnie is very nice    I always had a thing for the Norton, glad it got a mention...

Ya, the Commando looks awesome, it's on my list to get....maybe one day. 

[ken65]

thanks fella's. its actually nicer in the flesh.    I had the pleasure of riding a mint commando MKIII last week end.
Vibrated a little more than i though it would though even with the isolatics adjusted or what ever there called.

Am I the only one here who thinks that the Indian doesn't look good at all?

I'm looking at that bike and it just looks tacky or juvenile.  How does it ride - beats me, I'm sure it's a blast, but it looks awful.  I think it's the fenders.

No.

That title is kind counter intuitive. Back in History these bikes weren't vintage they were current. Anyway just playing word games. I would have any of those vintage bikes today.

I have two of them but the VFR they list there is actually a VFR750R aka RC30. I have two F's but maaaaaan would I love an RC30.

Well I vote on the sportster for  ugliest. Was that a limited edition  butt ugly package or a custom job ? I never saw a sportster with anything that stupid looking on it.

I can't even find any that ugly on google images.

Daytona fender I believe..option..

My RC30 will be on the road presently, I'll let you know how it goes. I have the beauty 13 years, and it's been off the road for all but 3 months of that.
Glad the RC made it to the list

Good for you, Kev.  That is a great looking bike. V

Too bad BSA didn't make that list. I just got a '68 Firebird in trade for some work. It's in rough shape but should be a fun ride once it's done.

 Wowbagger, Here's my 1971 BSA Lightning.

Wowbagger, Here's my 1971 BSA Lightning.

Very cool, would get my vote to replace the Harley on the list.

They picked the boat tail sportster ?  Ugly.  One of my friends had a Superglide with a boat tail.  Still ugly.

So ugly, it's awesome. I love Harleys! They can do no wrong. Including the new Ducati was smart. I just started to actually get into vintage Harleys, and at first I couldnt believe how junky they were compared to Hondas (for example). But, for some strange reason, you learn to embrace the madness.

[72 yellow]

I owned 2 Harleys.  A 73 XLH Sportster and a 77 FXE Superglide.  The Sportster was a decent ride.  The Superglide was the worst POS outside of  my 77 Mustang II.  Poor build quality and recalls.  The dealer sucked.  I couldn't wait to get rid of it.  However, I am thinking of adding a newer Sportster to the stable.

I like that Sportster ducktail.  There is a different higher capacity gas tank that often goes with it and makes the whole bike look a lot better.  My buddy has one set up with the bigger capacity tank and the ducktail and it is really a good looking bike, probably my favorite Sportster config other than the XLCR.

I'm with Steve-O. That is one fine looking BSA.
