famous / iconic / recogniseable bikes.

[ghostbiker]

well if we go with famous meens non bikers would know it by sight it limits the list dramaticly

I think as said most of the worlds population would know a C90 and its brothers and sisters
Ducati would i think be know as a ducati, they might not be able to spot the model but most ducati's do stand out from the rest
the same with hardlys, ppl would know tham as a brand rather than a model. inc anything hardly looking like viragos.
Iconic bikes that i beilve lots would reconise is the Early blades, BMW ewen bike and GPZ's

but lets be honest, most non bikers judge a bike on its colour and rough shape, paint a blade green and see how many ppl will call it a kwaker
give a blade a speed block design and the gen public would think it was a yam. there are few bikes that realy do stand out as a brand. and to me there fore are "famous" has to be ducati
