$350,000 Bike

This being my second year riding, I never gave much thought to the history of motorcycles.

I don't know how much of an authority Wired is on motorcycle history but this article/slide show kind of opens my eyes to the awesome bikes of the past. Though I love riding my 2008 Suzuki, I would love to get a ride on the 70 year old BMW or the $350,000 "rolls royce" of bikes!

Brakes would be like wood!

There are some very interesting motorcycles in that article. The Britten looked quite interesting and the very last one had lines which although a very old bike had a very futuristic Tron like look to it.

That BMW rules.

Nice bikes, but I would have expected to see the Neander diesel bike in that list as well ...

Good list but I disagree with the Honda choice. I'd pick the NR750 over the RC30.
