    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    The original CB750 is only #38.
    Weird list with some real weirdo bikes in it.

    I agree with you bird. It seems everyone had a CB750. Me included. Should have made top 20 at least.

    Yeah... quite a bit of homage paid.

    How can the premier touring bike for over a decade with gazillions of road miles not make the list? At least the Rune was #39 (or was it 36).

    'Greatest' is the wrong word for that list.

    I'd go with 'Iconic', 'Unique' or 'Game-changing'.

    For example, that Yamaha GTS-1000 was a real dog and never sold well. But it had a single sided fork, so it made the list.
    Re-tired, or Re-tard. Depends on your attitude.

    It will be # 1 on the list in 2053 or latest 2054 - take my word .

    OK , let me start by saying I'm just a redneck biker. Now I can get to it. Whoever made this list is crazy. Not cause my bike didn't make it. Cause the number one bike is a limited production racer that hasnt sold enough models to say its number one. I don't see it in Moto GP. Sometimes people that make these lists are weird azz. I believe the GL 1800 should have made the list. Honda had more bikes on the list than anyone. Some of those bikes were so limited in production almost no one has heard of them. At least no HD made the list. It wouldn't be the list I would make. I realize that this is a "world" list. Probably more MCs abroard than here. I think we set the pace for popular MCs. They ride a lot of scooters across the pond.
