I saw one to ID all frames including motorcycles and they had an Ebike. I'm ok with getting the dang thing wrong but I should at least get the image with the correct answer.

Wasn't that decreed not C&V when this forum was opened? https://www.bikeforums.net/early-bri...s-7-8-9-speed/

However, that decision is questionable IMO. Plus, as time passes the definition of what is considered "C&V" changes in every field of human activity. Cycling is no different.
Case in point, from the automotive world: when the first Ford Mustang was sold in the mid-1960s, it was certainly not "vintage" and most didn't yet consider it a classic (though some did from nearly day one). 30 years later, it was generally considered a prime example of both. Today? If you want to obtain one, well, good luck finding one for sale - and if you do, bring serious $$$.
Minor error in my original post: I had mis-remembered the intro date of STI's - they were introduced in 1990, not the mid-1980s as I'd erroneously recalled (that was STI). They're thus "only" been around 30+ years, not 35+.

Now, when you start talking some of the later models, well . . . you've got a point. Especially when you get to the Pinto-chassis-based Mustang IIs.

The main bug used for the racing shots ran on 15x7 track-spec Firestones and (at the time) had a Super 90 out of a 356B shoved in it.

If the movie was meant to be some sort of film noir cautionary tale of a dystopian future featuring cars that drive themselves, imprisoning their hapless occupants, it kinda missed the mark....

And perhaps one of the most important studies on this topic found that most riders will take a red light on a clear intersection to get away from the drivers behind them that can't be trusted:

I do this all the time. An intersection is a great place to get killed on your bike. I only stay if I have to.
