When I lived in south Florida, my dad brought me to a Ducati/Triumph dealer that was relatively close to go hang out with his other Ducati-riding friends. I didn't know the name of it or how special it was at the time (I was only 7 years old and I knew nothing about motorcycles) but I remember a bike in front of the dealer that stood out to me, I only realized after watching this video that the bike was a 916 Senna
I've just put a comment up he missed loads of bikes the guys too young to understand he's probably just flicked through some of his mates TH-cam videos or read a couple of books if that.. 😂 and put it up.. 😄 😄 😄 What about the beautiful and sexy Honda RC45 750-RS I absolutely adore mine.., ❤️ and this wasn't in the video and that's a very rare bike nowadays.. Honda NR750 there's another one..
3:27 The 916/748/996/998s are water cooled. All but the 748 have supplemental oil cooling as well. I'd have mentioned a dry clutch to really describe a old school Duc.
I got to rev a Desmo in a closed garage with the race exhaust on. The owner kept it in a bike safe along with several other special Ducatis. It was such a mental sound!
Missed the Britten V1000 , my favorite of the unobtainable motorcycles. Though it may not be as rare as some of these bikes, it looks incredible and A total of 10 were built. It also has true racing heritage having won the Battle of the Twins in Daytona International Speedway's Daytona Bike Week festivities in the US and set several world speed records. Guy Martin got to ride one and it was like a national treasure in New Zealand (where it was made)... Not going to see one on the street any time soon.
My Grandad owned a Ducati 916 Senna. He bought it whilst holidaying in Monaco in 1993 & got it shipped to UK. He said it was impossible to ride & traded it for 3 brand new Harley Davidson's. He believes that if he'd kept it he'd have definitely died as it begged you to go faster.
Well, there is quite a leap from a special edition Ducati sportsbike, to a Harley Davidson.. Chances are, that he would think most sportsbikes are "impossible to ride". But if he's happy with his choice, power to him. It would be a waste to own a bike like that Ducati and never ride it the way it deserves
@@Real_MisterSir He was around 45 at this time and he had around 7-8 Harleys anyway (We was very wealthy in the early 90's). He liked cruisers. He said he didn't want to feel on edge and he claims the reason he's never fallen off whilst riding is due to the fact he doesn't own sports bikes! I had a Daytona 675 and was constantly pushed to ride harder. I can only imagine why a 916 felt like to ride on shitty English roads!
@Jason Bouphasavanh Some Yamaha crossplanes are I4s... you can have a crossplane or flat plane crankshaft on any engine type. For some reason most I4s are flat plane while generally American V8s are crossplane. Not sure why.
*The truly most rare bike on Earth?* - The bike you want to buy, being available at the right time and the right price, and within your area. That shit is freaking impossible to find. It is always off season in some place far away, or at a dealership that asks 30% more than the bike is really worth, or something is broken and needs to be fixed, or it has a billion miles, etc. That one gem, the right place/right time kind of bike, it's just never there.
I've found a low mileage 2002 FZS600 Fazer (the exact type of bike I was looking for) with braided hoses, double bubble windscreen, scorpion end can, colour matched belly pan and colour matched powder coated wheels (most of the major modifications I was considering and some I wasn't), in Kenny Roberts racing colours (exactly the colour that I was looking for) as a private sale. the owner takes the bike to the same mechanic as I take mine to. He wanted a very fair price, and I put down a deposit as soon as I was able to, I'm just trying to get through Christmas before I pay it off outright. And best of all, the current owner actually interviewed everyone who wanted to buy the bike, he rejected people because he thought they would damage the bike. Oh, and he lives a mile down the road from me. The Fazer is kept in a heated garage, the tyres are rotated daily, the bike is started and run weekly, and is serviced every few months, and is ridden about once a year to the MOT station, then back again.
Why can't I hang those up at work today? The young guys I work with are afraid to even aknowledge a girl as being attractive. None of them even had pinups on their bedroom wall as a teenager. These are strange times we're living in...
I helped restore a Coventry Eagle back in the late 80's in Coventry UK. We got into the local press with it and it is currently in Coventrys Museum Of Road Transport.
I dont know how he hasn't covered the first Japanese watercooled motorcycles the 1971 to 1977 Waterbuffalo in one of his videos yet. It was one of the fastest cruiser bikes of its time and it's a 2 stroke 3 banger. My grandfather bought one brand new in 72 and it was passed on to me.
Chatted with a fellow that rode up to a local bike stop here in SoCal on a Desmosedici RR. Turned out he actually owns two. He kept his other one at his cabin in the mountains but it was inop because mice had eaten through a couple of cable looms.
i saw a Ducati Senna at the Ducati Dealership here in brazil in the early 2000's when i was a kid and would visit that dealership every weekend just to look at the bikes lol. at the time i didn't thought much of it. I remember i saw some Cagivas and a Bimota at the workshop there as well and at the time i also didn't knew what it was either lool. The Ducati 999 was the one used to dream about lmao
Meh, I got myself a rare and exclusive motorcycle for cheap, and that's my Hyosung GT650R. Well, it's rare and exclusive in my country, which is all that matters to me personally, the dealer only got 6 bikes after the facelift, and out of those 6 only 2 were in white, red and grey. My first bike is also rare as well as the dealer got a few but people weren't really into naked bikes back then, a GT650. They are both cheap, basic and raw, love them!
Death666wish That's pretty cool bro! Over here in America we can't have Hyosungs, but god damn do I wish I could get one imported. The Gt650r looks so sweet. I prefer the sport bike Vs. the Naked bike look.
We had Hyosungs in America about 10 years ago. I know a dealer near me that has several new old stock ones and has barely marked the price down from MSRP
I know the guy who owned that 1951 Chinese Red Vincent White Shadow, he found it in pieces in a shed in the early 80s not knowing at the time that he had found a truly unique motorcycle. He finished the restoration in the mid 80s and you could surely find it in the wild when he owned it, he rode it often until he sold it at auction.
Used to have a 916 SPS when it came out. Had it for two years and it got stolen. ,😣 For the ones who want to know. Police found the bike before i knew it was stolen. They found it 16 miles from where i live, wrapped around a tree with a death thief nearby. Succes!
@0:00 Honda NRG750 has to be on the list, it cost at least 100 grand, has oval pistons with eight valves and a fiberglass body. :) @0:45 If you ruin the fairing, it sets you back a basic Ford Mustang.
Been saving up since for a while now for a normal 916. They arent to expensive where I live and hopefully I'll be able to get one some day. Ever since my dad bought me a toy version of it when I was really young it was a dream of mine!
3 bikes no one talks about but are fun as hell, Suzuki Bandit 400, Honda NT650, and the CB-1, I have owned bigger bikes, but never had as much fun than on those 3 listed above
Idk man the ducati 916 Senna is quite ugly. The headlights look like someone took the smallest scooter they could find, chop off the top and mount it on a bike. It really didn't age well
yea it looks too squashed for my liking. It has these wide headlights that are un-aggressive and the front is so stubby, it kinda looks like it has been crashed head first into a wall, and then the italian sculptors tried to save what was left and repolish it. I don't particularly hate it, I just don't get the fuzz about its "amazing design". To me, it has aged far worse than the later bike 999/749, which were not too well received by the public back then, but start to get a following now as their looks are more in line with modern styles.

You may wanna looking into a Honda NR750 it has 4 cylinder 8 value per cylinder with a oval piston plus titanium part on the engine(very exotic). In the 90's is sold for $60,000 not sure how many saw sold worldwide. They have one on display at the Barber museum.
You're so right about the Rickman frames giving superb handling and were way ahead of their time, I'd a Kawasaki H2 in 1975, it went like a rocket in a straight line but in the bends handled like a camel with a hinge in the middle, I got the engine put in a Rickman frame and it was brilliant at the time there wasn't a bike in N. Ireland could get close to it.
I have a Brough dealer in dorset about 15 miles from my house, they have 4 classics in there along with the new ss100! These along with loads of other classic bikes, mv agustas and aprilia’s. They’re called Moto corsa.
I think you missed a few. Bimota, Krocker, or maybe Pope. I think there may only be 1 Pope boardtrack racer left, I actually have seen it at a shop in Indiana where it was getting some resto work done to it
I actually saw a red MG Le Mans 1000 in the back of a pickup truck going through Houston three weeks ago or so. I'm fairly familiar with vehicles, but that one threw me for a bit of a loop. It's almost ironic that I'm now watching this and you're stating how rare the are. Safe riding, Yamster.
Loved the Brough... I have had a chance to straddle the Brough, not that one yet, at Bonneville a couple of years ago... but I am friends with the team... imagine that... Ken Brough
My neighbour had one of those desmosedici RR. He casually ride it on weekend just to buy some street food like fried rice or noodles near our home. The bike is still like new and probably only making 1000 miles of travel by now.
If you haven’t already check out the Norton F1. I think it would be a great addition to this list if you make another one of these. It has very low production numbers, a lot of interesting history about the company at that time, and best of all a rotary engine, which is just rare in itself.
i cant help but imagine Jay Leno watching this and going "hey, have one of those, and those, and that one..."

You're so right about the Rickman frames giving superb handling and were way ahead of their time, I'd a Kawasaki H2 in 1975, it went like a rocket in a straight line but in the bends handled like a camel with a hinge in the middle, I got the engine put in a Rickman frame and it was brilliant at the time there wasn't a bike in N. Ireland could get close to it.
I have a 2014 EBR 1190RX with the Dean Adams race package.
I have a Brough dealer in dorset about 15 miles from my house, they have 4 classics in there along with the new ss100! These along with loads of other classic bikes, mv agustas and aprilia’s. They’re called Moto corsa.
Excellent work Noob !!!
Hey noob, i would love to see what could do explaining the amazing brittain motor cycles, and the genius behind them.
Love yr work
Yammy, I want to buy a 675R. What are some of the common problems to watch out for?
nice info love it check out the swiss made motosacoche they had overhead cams with rollers on the rockers 250cc and 750 cc cheers
I think you missed a few. Bimota, Krocker, or maybe Pope. I think there may only be 1 Pope boardtrack racer left, I actually have seen it at a shop in Indiana where it was getting some resto work done to it
Hey Yammie what are your thoughts on the Benelli Tornado, they are not the most expensive bikes but they are pretty rare too.
I own a guzzi 1000 lemans, great bike, there are a few of these in the UK
You also forgot the RC213v and the HP4 Race, both are arguably more rare than the brough superior.
I actually saw a red MG Le Mans 1000 in the back of a pickup truck going through Houston three weeks ago or so. I'm fairly familiar with vehicles, but that one threw me for a bit of a loop. It's almost ironic that I'm now watching this and you're stating how rare the are. Safe riding, Yamster.
Oh yes the Honda rebel my very first bike was a 96 250 rebel had so much fun learning to ride on that thing best 500 I ever spent
What about the VFR750R or the RVF750 or NSR400? Maybe the RG500? or RD500LC??
Loved the Brough... I have had a chance to straddle the Brough, not that one yet, at Bonneville a couple of years ago... but I am friends with the team... imagine that... Ken Brough
Solid list from the illustrious and immortal Rammy Boob, the Clammy Pube, Yammie Noob.
My neighbour had one of those desmosedici RR. He casually ride it on weekend just to buy some street food like fried rice or noodles near our home. The bike is still like new and probably only making 1000 miles of travel by now.
love these videos.
Ducati Senna, Series 1 was grey with red wheels. 300 made of each model and 3 models in total. Sold mine after owning it for 2 years
If you haven’t already check out the Norton F1. I think it would be a great addition to this list if you make another one of these. It has very low production numbers, a lot of interesting history about the company at that time, and best of all a rotary engine, which is just rare in itself.
10:57 Oh...... Looks like Rickmamd had some other areas of intimidating interest as well other than motorcycles
What about the original MV Augusta F4 750 (not the cheapo remake without the magnesium wheels etc)?
What about husquarna nuda 900rr????
My friend has a 916 Senna with 6 miles on it from new. It's a proper garage queen.
well, already saw some Desmo RR in my country (and one of em is the only one Full Paper DesmoRR in my country)
