   Nah, she rode a Triumph Bonneville 650, probably the ’59 model, since it’s so famous. Greatest Ever #5 will give you more details.

   Your infos in the description are wrong. They say different numbers than what you have written down for weight, max speed etc. on most of the videos

    This bike has the technology of most modern Harleys. 1924 technology

    Why cant Harly put out a modern sport bike to the line up
    instead of another hard tail antique clock

    Why can’t GM make DOHC v8′s? American Motor company’s all seem to have a the same problem with innovation. Buell to me is the most innovative American company as far as cars and Motorcycles go.

    harley is about tradition and class, not rocket science. the first thing i learned in harley mechanic’s school was K.I.S.S.= Keep It Simple, Stupid.
    on a side note, do your homework. go look at the new v-rods, or the new sportster 1200. very sporty bikes

    +1 to you, my dad had a Oldsmobile aurora that had a Northstar in it, I hated that Oldsmobile so much. but that was like 10 years ago now.

    Believe it or not I saw a camaro at a super chevy show that had a north star engine turned sideways to make it rear wheel drive and slapped a turbo on it, a far cry from the aurora lol

    thats awesome, I hate Aurora so much by far one of the ugliest cars ever made by GM, ex the Aztec you can’t get much worse then that.

    GM=Fail

    Why would GM bother when their pushrod motors consume less fuel per horsepower made? GM’s 6.2L 438hp Corvette gets the same combined fuel economy of a 2.2L S2000 even though the Corvette weighs almost 500lbs more. Go ahead, enjoy your DOHC “technology” I will gladly take twice the power per gallon of gas I buy.

    George Brough made a Superior motorcycle, “The Brough Superior”. The ss100 meant super sports 100 as it was guaranteed to go over 100mph! Before it left the factory.

    Actually I have driven both cars. With the Vette I only got 15 mpg in the town with a slight lead foot. Driving the s2000 the same way I got 22 mpg.

    Right with you. Check out Garage419′s test of fuel economy between a prius and c5 corvette. The corvette was only 4mpg below the prius if I remember correctly. Go watch the video.
