]]> To kick off the arrival of a new decade, I thought I'd check to see which motorcycles have proved most popular with our readers over the past year. And it's thrown up a few surprises. Even if you saw these bikes the first time round, they're worth a second look. (And why 11 rather than 10? Only because the gap between the last two bikes was almost too close to call.) 1. 1934 BMW R7 This concept motorcycle (above) racked up twice as many hits as any other bike. 2. Wrenchmonkees Honda CB750 Honda's 70s star gets the Scandinavian treatment. 3. Honda Gold Wing Bulldog Bobber Brutal and beautiful: a real crowd-pleaser. 4. Wrenchmonkees 1976 BMW R80 Another winner from the Copenhagen workshop. 5. Killinger und Freund Like the 1934 BMW R7, this is another Art Deco stunner. 6. Benjie's Cafe Honda CB550F Benjie Flipprboi hit a home run with this vintage Honda. 7. 1949 Moto Major The post-WWII motorcycle that looks like it was built for Batman. 8. Honda XL600R Street Tracker A tracker that proves Less can be More. 9. 1983 BMW R80 Bobber A radically-reworked airhead from Rodney Aguiar. 10. Big Moon Yamaha SR400 A baby-blue beauty from the up-and-coming Japanese shop. 11. Yamaha RD350 Custom Black-and-gold detailing and rare mechanicals from Twinline.]]> http://www.bikeexif.com/the-top-11-motorcycles-of-2009/feed 7 Changing gear http://www.bikeexif.com/honda-postie-bike http://www.bikeexif.com/honda-postie-bike#comments Tue, 22 Dec 2009 17:30:56 +0000 Chris http://www.bikeexif.com/?p=6793 Changing gear is a post from Bike EXIF - Classic motorcycles, custom motorcycles and cafe racers.

]]> After pluggin’ away at this site on a daily basis for over a year, I’m going to take a little breather. But rather than leave you guys in the lurch, I’ve asked some of my favorite motorcycle bloggers to hold the fort while I’m recharging my batteries. The bulk of the work will be done by Scott from Pipeburn, with several posts also coming from Diesel of Visual Gratification and Richard Fowler of Motorsport Retro. These guys all have excellent tastes, and they’re in tune with the Bike EXIF vibe—so it’s worth checking out their own sites if you get a minute. I’ll be back on board in mid-January, but will be checking in on the emails and comments now and then. In the meantime, have a wonderful holiday break and thank you for visiting. PS Thanks also to photographer Josh Evans for permission to use the shot above—which has been featured in Intersection magazine. It was taken near Tooraweena in Australia, and Josh recalls, "I was on my first ever postie bike ride, in June 2005, from Sydney to Warialda near the Queensland border. We spent so much time laughing along the way, a cross between embarrassment and the really ridiculous: our leathers were worth more than the bikes. I set the camera up and started running back to my spot while the barrel was turning (there is no self-timer on a Noblex 135S). Ben quickly said, 'Look tough'. And for about five seconds we did."]]> http://www.bikeexif.com/honda-postie-bike/feed 14 Australia needs your help http://www.bikeexif.com Classic motorcycles, custom motorcycles and cafe racers Thu, 09 Sep 2010 19:49:18 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc Bike EXIF » Bike EXIF news http://www.bikeexif.com Classic motorcycles, custom motorcycles and cafe racers Thu, 09 Sep 2010 19:49:18 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc The Top 11 Motorcycles of 2009 http://www.bikeexif.com/the-top-11-motorcycles-of-2009 http://www.bikeexif.com/the-top-11-motorcycles-of-2009#comments Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:30:55 +0000 Chris http://www.bikeexif.com/?p=6952 The Top 11 Motorcycles of 2009 is a post from Bike EXIF - Classic motorcycles, custom motorcycles and cafe racers.

]]> So far, 180 people have died in the horrifying fires burning a few hundred miles to the west of where I'm sitting now. Rob Hallet of Narbethong, Victoria, was one of the lucky ones to escape: in the image above right, he's standing in the remains of the shed that contained his rare collection of BSA motorbikes. The death toll is forecast to top 300, entire towns have burnt to the ground, and thousands of people are homeless. If you have just a few seconds to spare, please help by donating online to the Australian Red Cross. [Via DoubleOhTwo]]]> http://www.bikeexif.com/australia-needs-your-help/feed 0
