In my opinion, the 1936 knucklehead was on the most prettiest made motorcycles. It was an innovator of style and Performance

Awesome video, ive recently found a new interest in vintage bikes. I always wondered why some people preffered vintage over modern. The history of the motorcyle, that you added in this video, gave me a clear perspective on the stories, styles, and gradual progression of the motorcycle. I truly enjoyed this content...💯

I had a 1959 BSA 650 that I bought when I was in the US Air Force in 1974. It was semi-chopped, didn't have the original tank, had extended forks, etc... all that cool Easy Rider stuff. I always wanted to restore it to original, but it got stolen out of my parents garage. I miss it to this day!

My first road bike was a Norton 850, I wish I had never sold it but it was eventually replaced by a BMW K75 which I love, I wish I could afford another Norton because nothing could ever replace it totally.

Back in '95 I bought a '50 Triumph Thunderbird project. It took me over five years to do a concourse restoration on her. It was thunder blue. I won first place in my class at Mid-Ohio swap meet and bike show. I still can't believe I sold it. It's the one that got away.

Good selection. Those old bikes aren’t mechanically sound, but when it comes to visual perfection nothing touches them. I’d have added a Brough Superior and an Excelsior, but if choice is limited to 8, they’re a good selection.

Good personal selection. my favourites were the Sunbeam, the Crocker and the little Russki, In 55yrs of riding I have ridden all the classics but have always been drawn towards the oddballs. Currently restoring a 1972 Pleneta Sport the Russian attempt at a performance two stroke. Very few of these ever made it to the UK, so there is a real challenge

Ducati ? Moto Guzzi ? Love the videos, and mostly I agree with the great looks of Bobbers / Classic British Cafe Racers. However, through the years, Japan produced some darn good looking bikes that fit the category of beautiful vintage like Yamaha 1957 YD-1. Would love to see videos on Vintage Japanese, and Vintage Italian. Thanks!

Crocker's where a limited edition overhead valve motor that was stuffed into proprietary cycle parts Harley-Davidson truck rocker court for patent infringement and brought a knucklehead into the court and Crocker bought a crock Arista court and the judge took one look at the Harley and told Harley you should be glad that Crocker isn't suing you they were roughly $100 more than a top-of-the-line Harley-Davidson which was about a week's pay back then

The Beemer - superb...but they are so expensive now. And ...of course...I would recommend a Vincent... the massive 1000cc Shadow , which is a fortune- always Black - always stunning And, of course (2) - a Brough Superior .....unattainable these days

Why would you leave out the HD Sportster XLCH ? It was the meanest looking dog on the block, you could pick up more girls with a Sportster than any other bike in the 1960's. The late 60's TV series "Then came Bronson" show cased the XLCH. If you were young and wanted a motorcycle, that was the show to watch.

What? no BSA's.... The Triumph Bonneville is the best looking in this line up, although I love the old bikes. I am watching a 1929 BSA 350cc single cylinder with a think a three speed transmission on E-bay. I think it would be a good bike for the Cannonball run across the U.S. in the future. because it is a nice simple design and has a transmission.
