Gearhead s Dream : Every gearhead in the entire world has an opinion as to what defines a good motorcycle. And, in excess of a century of two-wheeled history, an awful lot of significant motorcycles are in the mix. From the Ducati 916 to the Kawasaki H2R, there’s not a lack of legendary bikes for any list of the world’s best motorcycles.
However, let’s be fair, modern performance has progressed significantly in the time since – and even Anonymous now has more mind-boggling speed, deadly accuracy, and futuristic tech built around it than can be pushed to limits unimaginable back in the day. That said, we can’t overlook one or two of the older icons. Some bikes from the ‘80s and ‘90s were way ahead of the trend
and it shows, because such legendary machines still get your heart pumping, and if you were lucky enough to ride these classic motorcycles, it would be like getting into a time machine where most of the bikes were the latest in analog adrenalin. These donks will make you realize how truly bonkers motorcycle performance used to be.
So, here is a list of the 10 greatest motorcycles to meet: nothing like that. Our picks are purely based on rides — from their speed, and agility, to the kind of exhilaration that leaves you grinning from ear to ear. But we’re also considering the impact these bikes made on the industry, the influence they had on future designs and the way they affected the market. So, strap yourself in (or rather, hang onto the bars for dear life) because these are 10 of the best bikes a gearhead should ride at least once!
