Sorry, no matter how pristine their condition, none of your list have the memories attached to them that my old, scratched, used and raced bike has.
Most guys buy a classic to remind them of their youth or of a period. I happen to be lucky enough to have "the" bike.
Yeah, I know I left out a lot of great bikes.
Maybe there ought'a be another fire, with someone else making up the list. It wasn't so easy to choose
