Our Favorite Motorcycles of All Time

Here is a list of some of our favorite motorcycles of all time. Let us know what you think.

Vincent Black Shadow

Hunter S. Thompson probably summed the Black Shadow up the best- "the backlash from the kick-starter almost broke my leg," "the vibration almost fused my wrist bones," and "boiling oil from the breather pipes turned my right foot completely black," but you have to love the "genuinely hellish bike." From 1948 to the late 1960s, this was the fastest production bike ever.

Suzuki RG500 Gamma

With four world titles and 50 Grand Prix victories, the RG500 has the resume to support its reputation. Of the top manufacturers' racing model replicas, the RG500 came the closest. Its motor has four pistons, two crankshafts, and rotary valves for the intake charge. Can you name another bike with those features?

Ducati Desmosedici

This Ducati is as close to a road racer as street-legally possible. Its four cylinders set it apart, and its "twin pulse" firing, gear-driven cams, and titanium valves all match the racing version. It may be too much for the road, but excess is what bike riding is all about.

MTT Y2K

Did you know that jet helicopter engines are road safe? MTT found out and started putting them into their Y2K model. The result is 320 bhp at 52,000(!) RPM and 227 mph. Let's add this bad-boy for guts.
