Not a bad read I guess, but it's a seriously flawed premise.
It's not about the 50 objectively best bikes at anything - just 50 bikes that the judges liked to ride. :roll:

The poms (and a token European in this case) often seem to come up with odd crap like this.
Maybe something to do with the stress of riding under the constant threat - and the frequent reality - of cold, drenching downpours.
:lol: :lol:

It can't be that old, the Hornet at #22 is the same as mine, so it's from 2006 or a 2007, which makes the article from probably late '05 early '06? I had the impression they were talking about the old model Z750 as well.
