This could be very controversial so let's keep this as a bit of banter and not get personal or start getting "Holier than thou!".

There were bikes (and the like) in the 50's, 60's, and 70's that you could literally get for nothing as hardly anyone wanted them, as many really were so bad. They are now opopping up all over, with prices for boxes of bits, and "barn finds" fetching silly money, and being restored and sold as "Classics".

Basing these bikes on the very dubious criteria of "Me and my mates wouldn't be seen dead on one!", let's get your thoughts?

I'll start the ball rolling with the BSA C15, Suzuki GT380 and any Royal Oilfield, sorry, Enfield, save for the 700 Constellation.

I'll now run and duck for cover!😜

Ahem! Is that an improper use of apostrophes in the title?
