Yes, all great bikes.  I sometimes think what bike would I most want in my garage and that's how I picked this one.

Congrats to all!

 It's been a while, since I have checked out the Bike of the Month or the Bike Of The Year. There have always been some really fine looking nominations. But, I have to say that every single one of these entries, are really So Well Done, They are Amazing!

Hi all,
I'd like to thank everyone for the support in this year's poll. I think every bike would be a worthy winner. The work put into these machines by their owners is more than a labour of love, it's a testament to the enduring attraction of these four cylinder machines and the hold they have on so many of us. I'd be proud to be an owner of any of those machines, and the many others which feature on this forum.
Have a great Xmas and best wished to all for 2020
Andy

Well done to everyone.  Deepsouth's bike was a sight to behold.  It looks like it can go as well as it looks.
