Eldest brother had a 650 Triton-the featherbed frame was a mightily popular piece of kit back then-which he replaced with a Black Shadow,bought for peanuts and sold for peanuts too

I've ridden half-a-Vincent, the 500cc Comet, and that was enough for me!

For a left fielder how about the Munch Mammut? Powered by a 1,000cc NSU air cooled car engine.Nearly 500 were built up to early 1990's with later models getting a capacity increase anything up to 1,996cc.

Yep...that was quite an oddity.

I never saw one on the road.

Friend of mine let me ride his Moto Morini 350

It was the actual road test bike used by one of the bike mags of the time. Don't think I ever saw another.

Fabulous little 4 stroke V-twin.

I don't recall ever seeing a Munch on the road either.I certainly wouldn't have fancied trying to pick one back up after dropping it a they weighrd in at circa 350Kgs

I could never get excited about bikes. I think it had something to do with self preservation. 

That's part of the (adrenaline) rush

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Different people get  rush from different things though. For example nicking the wheels off someones car right outside their house could be exciting. 

[BazaJT]

Yes it could and possibly just as harmful depending on whos wheels you're nicking if caught

I must start rebuilding my Sunbeam S8, I must, I must.......

Ron.

you should do it mate,rebuilt an S7 way back in the 80,s and parts were not plentiful even then! was a hell of a bike though for the first 30miles or so, then the rear pot used to get a tad hot and start pinkimg
  loved it though,Dominator 88 with all the 99 bits on was great,triumph adventurer was fun,also my Ducati darmah was a great bike and my oil in frame BSA lightning,was hust right commuting from wallinford to heathrow everyday, 10,000 miles in 6 months while using it for courier work!favourite for sheer terror was the kwacker H1 500 triple the thing was mental, not to mention scary,
