Interesting list after quick skim , prolly have some small nits …

They have 2 Nortons listed so I guess they are credible.

Where is the Yamaha FJ 1100? This was thee "Benchmark" bike! Had one new the only thing close to it in performance and handling was the Honda CB 1100!
A little carb jetting, low restriction header exhaust and cut out rev limiter crazy power!

There's more than a couple listed which I would incinerate small cities for.

"Triumph Bonneville", with accompanying photo of the latest water-cooled behemoth with cast wheels.

YUCK.

the new Norton Omicron... unapproachable....

Wow, some very weird choices there. That Confederate thing and the Buell - talk about ugly.

Where is the X75 ?

"So successful were the Norton Commando race bikes that the term “unapproachable Norton” was coined in pit row".

....sigh....

That's where I stopped reading.

The 1940 Indian chief pictured is either a 1947 or '48

"Triumph Bonneville", with accompanying photo of the latest water-cooled behemoth with cast wheels.

YUCK.

DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME!

The Classic Bonneville is almost always included in all of these "Top ### Motorcycles" lists, because it is arguably right up there in every case.

The fact that I've owned 43 Classic ones, and 1 modern one, attest to my preference.

 

[Fast Eddie]

I’ve got a Harley and I love it… but there are far too many Harley’s in that list !

Honda "Ruin"
