I have taken your "open to interpretation" as it stands so here goes:

1)TZ 750 Yamaha

2)H2 Kwaka 750

3)Z1 Kwaka 900

4)CBX 1000 Honda

5)Claudia Schieffer

Mind you; I was lucky enough to be in the presence of an RG 500 just two days ago, damn they're sexy, might just about bump Claudia for the #5 spot.

Any TZ Yamaha will do. Conjures up images of Saarinen and Kenny Roberts. Especially the TZ 750 dirt tracker that Kel Carruthers had built for the Indy Mile.

RG500 is a thing of myth in the States. Pure "gray market" bike. Two-stroke road bikes were virtually a thing of the past by the late 80's. You could still glimpse the odd Yamaha or one of those scary Kawasaki triples, but knew of only two RG's in the Pacific Northwest, one owned by my Alfa Romeo mechanic ( I think I financed that bike) brought down from Canada for "competition only"

I've never rode a Shiffer. Do you consider it a cruiser or pure sports type?

2)H2 Kwaka 750 ( for the madness it meant)

3)Suzuki gsxr750(for the leap it provided)

Hey:

Well I have to catagorize mine


Blondes , New bikes, Race Hondas, Classic, US cars, Older Bikes

1. Heidi Klum, Kaw ZX14, RC-45, CB1100R, Z1R Vette, Vincent BL

2. Brianna Brown, MVA F3, NR 750, CBX 6, Zo6 Vette, NSU

3. Faith Hill, Duc 1199 S Tri, RC-30, VFR750R, ZL1 Camaro, M Guzzi V8

I really wanted to add Redheads but My Wife would want to be at the top of that list.
Sooo I made it less complicated, but I did stick with 5, it did look better before it posted.(easier to read) Opera sometimes does that, it is missing spaces so It is kinda Cryptic.

So many questions?

The TZ750 flat tracker? I think there would be very few of us mere mortals that could even use 1/4 throttle on that thing.

Kenny Roberts and the Indy Mile (2009) - YouTube

As for the RG500 that I drooled over a couple of days ago, it was the late 70,s GP version (Marco Lucchinelli, Randy Mamola(?)) etc. I think the street version that you speak of was called an RGB, but I'm quite happy to be corrected by a Suzuki aficionado.

And the Schiffer ?, let's face it; we're all getting older, far more up for a stately (but no doubt enjoyable) cruise than some high risk 2 stroke moto cross experience
