Best "early or old school" sport bike
 
Anything we'll say up until the early 90's or so...any first generation type of rides like the original CBR 600, Original GSXR's, Kawa. GPZ 900, Yamaha FZR line, etc.... You know, the bikes that really started the sport bike revolution.

One of my favorites has always been the original CBR 600's

but my all time favorite old school sport bike would have to be the Interceptor. I'll never forget as a kid watching some guy wheelie one across a bridge near my house.

for me... it was always the Ninja's... guess... growing up nothing was cooler than a Ninja... so a bike called the Ninja had to be the best...

I personally LOVE the 87 Hurricane 600 in that black with red stripe scheme. early VFRs are a second love, followed by the early FZRs with the twin bug eye headlights.

Kawasaki H2 if you want to consider that a sportbike.

But old Cafe Racers (With the real Bubble looking windscreen) has always been cool to me.

When I was younger (which wasnt all that long ago) I always thought the same thing. It was all about the lime green and purple ninjas.
