    For the baby boomer generation, myself included, Brit bikes and Harleys were declining in favor when I was younger. I agree with the inclusion with the Honda 50 only for it's significance in "kick-starting" the Japanese motorcycle industry. But it's not like that guys my age had posters of 50s on our bedroom or dorm walls. No, those spaces were reserved for truly the first Japanese super-bikes:

    The Honda CB750 and, ring-a-ding ding, the Kawasaki Mach 3 500!

    hmm... There are some good bikes on their list, but you gotta consider ones that put the motorcycle world on its ear..... some of the bikes on their list dont live up to that.


    Some that do:
    TZ750
    Busa
    V-Max
    HD JD Twin Cam
    HD Evo
