ok lets have it!

this is a debate on best bikes

748/916/996 V 749/999 it does not matter wich model BIP R S ETC ETC

Bear in mind what you have owned B4 !


Ok This is point!!!!!!


When a manufacturer makes a new model from scratch

The REASERCH and development that goes into it is imeasureable.


and it usualy makes that bike/car RAW plesure!!!

OK I'll start of with Ford Escort MK1 MEXICO (AWSOME)

Mk2 Escort only wore the badge

and mk3 did not deserve the MEXICO BADGE


Ok MK1 GOLF GTI first HOT hatch

RS series 1 Turbo Awsome (WHITEand blue)

92 Fireblade it changed the Rules (pre FOXEYE) first Hooligan bike

so the point i'm making is this !!!!! once they have built the aforesed machines

why do they spoil them by making them all Refined

and sloppy and normal ! they just seem to loose the edge they had when they were first thought of!!

this is why i think the 916/996 will always be the best bike

and yes i have rode all of the models and yes i can afford one !

so just answer the bloody question and put your views forward

ps think it's gonna be a long nite

Raw pleasure........why change them............years of development..............I know ill paint the wheels white!

Best bike was surely the AP50 - it gave me my independance!!!!
It also beat all the local FS1E's and screamed along with me flat on the tank at 59 (or so the local man in blue told me )
Had nice shiny bits too, and pedals for when it broke down or (more often, as I was poor schoolkid/student) ran out of juice)

There Mav, satisfied?:P

[andyb]

I was an ap50 man aswell!!

I still ride down that same piece of dual carriageway now smiling, remenising flat on the tank 58,59mph...on the ap50.
