Motorcycle Triumph - What is the one bike that stops you in your tracks?

[happy]

I have seen many of these dream bikes on the roads here....
except that Batman bike...

 

[PPWW]

That thing should better come with reverse gear or you'd never be able to back it out of a parking stall.

Well, with these two beauties in front I'm not sure I would ever back it out...

Another addition... (looks like I'm developing a certain fixation on motorcycle farkles):

Got to agree with you about the Vstar custom. But the Vstar classic is a good bike.

 

[Catbird]

I have an illogical fascination and desire to own one of these just to putter around on...

My Honda dealer has a decked out for touring V-Star classic in sky blue and white, brand new 3 YO stock, that is priced about the same as an NCX. It was one of the cruisers I was looking at when agonizing over which bike to buy in January.

Although I love the Bonneville, and will have own one someday (even if I do have it spelled wrong on my forum Handle), I've always thought the Confederate Motors bikes would be a gas to ride (confederate.com). And of course, fantasy bikes would not be replete without inclusion of a Norton Commando and a Brough Superior.

From 2004, always felt it distilled the essence of motorcycle design; never saw one in the flesh.

I saw one of these today. I would also putter around on a 'modern' Enfield.

I have run into a fellow just south of us who rides one of these....
a 1954 Vincent Black Shadow. He bought it in 1954!
I love the vintage stuff.

Some nice rides pictured here, but if I could I would have this.....Of course I would also have to have my 21 year old body back in order to ride it without having to have an orthopedic surgeon on retainer. I miss the days of being young enough, in shape enough and dumb enough, to bend myself into a pretzel and ride all day--- and not have to be pealed off the bike.

I am test riding one in 2 hours. The sound of an Italian Longitudinal V-Twin to me is so intoxicating. I am trying to be strong but resistance may be futile. <Sigh>

I recently read that a Dutch guy was producing these again from old stock

 

[wozza]

Yes indeed Rocker and they are arounf £80k I believe, but I stand to be corrected if anyone knows better. A real proper looking motorcycle with a round headlight....lol

And here is the beast in all it's glory!!!

Me, too! I love watching the Jay Leno's Garage youtube videos where he demos many of the old school, vintage bikes.

Put the wrong link a couple posts ago. I really really want this one. However, I'm worried eight gallons of gas up top and high seat height might be a little much for a short legged 5'7" guy.
