Greatest motorcycle of all time.

I don,t know how you guys in the rest of the world get your mail delivered, but here in Australia it is by the trusty Honda ct110

.
I mean you just can,t kill

these things. We posties do about 50 klm,s a day on these bikes and that is mostly in first and second gear of stop and start riding. After 25,000 klm,s they send them out to auction where the general public can purchase one and abuse it even more. Which they do relentlessly.
So go to YOU TUBE type in "postie bike" and be amused.

The posties motto "STEP THROUGH OR STEP ASIDE"

I use a Honda CRV SUV to deliver mail from.Here in the states,it's unheard of to deliver mail from a bike.I will be looking up that You Tube later.Just now I gotta shower and SHAVE and go deliver the mail.

that would be whichever one is under my arse

I haven't ridden in a quarter of a century but when I did I would lean towards a 74 cubic inch Harley. My fav bike that I never owned or rode would've been a Vincent Black Shadow even though I know they weren't really that great in design ..... but the name is so cool. I suppose the BMW was the 'best' from the point of view of you can't kill it.

I agree with GH... whatever I'm riding!

Wow an Honda SUV

! I,m not even allowed to fit heated grips! We had a postie in Mildura in the country who put in for an Honda XR650 because he had roughly 3 klm,s between delivery points, he eventually got a Honda CT200, basically a farmers bike without the dog carrier and shovel holder

Well Ill go with Grand-Pa's old Ace ... just cause he had one and he is still the greatest in my book.

PS... no thats not his .. just the model he had way back in the day.

I'm not a motorcycle person but that old Ace is one cool bike.That's enough to convert me if I had it.

**kevint** · 07-23-2009, 01:00 PM

I don't know if it is the greatest, but I sure have a hankerin' for one of the chinese or russian military versions of the BMW R71

By numbers made, reliability, innovation, performance etc. I'm going with Honda CB750.
