    RC51 is cool. Why in the world do you have THREE 500's? Are they each that different from the other (of course who am I do talk, I have SIX 928's!)

    That fueling W3 is COOL! Never seen that before.

    I always LOVED the RC30! I have always been a big fan of the race style bikes and the single sided swing arms have always turned me on!

    Here are the bikes I had. Broke my back racing the KX125 back in 1990.

    I miss my bikes SOOO MUCH! I miss my Hurricane most of all! I rode for 19 years before "The accident". Hot girl on the Hurricane from before I got married... ;)

    The Fueling W3 was the product of engineering genius Jim Fueling and had great promise. Unfortunately he died before the company really got off the ground and the bikes are super rare (Cory Ness built a cool custom around one on "Biker Buildoff").

    Just before I broke my back I was about to order an NC30 because I could not afford a $15k RC30. The NC30 (later known as the VFR400) were the 400cc version of the 750cc RC30 but looked almost identical. Much lighter and handled better, but never imported here to the USA so you had to bring them in as gray market out of Japan normally. Here are shots of the RC and NC 30's.

    Looking at them today, they look...well, OLD! Go figure. I like the current bikes I guess...and that seems to go for whatever is currently current!

    I remember seeing a custom bike with hubless wheels a few years ago. It was all silver or aluminum looking. It was sweet but I have no idea how to find it now.

    Max,

    I LOVE those two classic Honda's! Those are GREAT! I also like some of the early Triumphs. I wonder if the Triumph bikes were more reliable than the Triumph cars? I had a 1980 Spitfire, but if you could not work on that car you had no business driving it!

    LetsJet, I remember that bike too. Very interesting proposition. Not sure whatever happened to that.

    Oh, I have another one... The Turbine powered sport bike! YEA! I think Leno has one or more of those!

    I have to agree with Uro. There are some good looking bikes out there but those are the two best looking bikes ever. I lean toward the 916 style because there is a 748 in my garage but the MV in red and silver is top notch.

    Why not go for a 916 Senna then? You could have it in either the "dark" or in Silver and both colours comes with the red wheels!

    Without a doubt, the Ducati 1098 is the best looking motorbike on sale right now.
