Some cool looking bikes. Pick a favourite. 'They are all shite' is not an option.

Me like.

I think the GS for me and I don't normally like ADV bikes but I think that's the pick of that bunch for me.

You could get a better tucked in light version. My 750 had it

The wee Yam farm bike for me, with a side vote for the GPz.

I'd take the GPz1100 out of that list, but in period red rather than green, with my personal runner up being the little Yam. If it can lift the front wheel in the first three gears it probably needs better brakes and suspension, but that's by the bye. My only gripe is that the list is heavy on big singles and IL4s to the exclusion of many other engine layouts.
