My last Honda was a 750 SS. Kind of custom though.

Nancy's first bike was a Triumph that I rebuilt for her.

Can't Beat Roadrunner. That dude is just too fast....ah well it's a 250 and tops out at about 140km/h / 85 mph.
But it's an efficiency monster that costs very little to purchase and operate.

Seriously though from what I hear the CB used to stand for 4 cylinder in line engines, the R for Racing (or simple a sport bike configuration) that the older CBRs all had. However that has changed over the decades and now even my single cylinder and two cylinder bikes hav the CBR name attached to them most likely just to boost sales with a well known name as they don't have much in common with the original 4 cylinder CBRs.

I don't know what any of those bikes in post no.19 are, or 408 XUG (above), do you?

Since you are into motorcycles, what is this:

A wreck!:stare:

Do you think it looked much better, if it was restored :hmmm:

No. It looks like 2 bikes have had a head-on collision and someone made the resulting tangle roadworthy!

It was sold between 1921 and 1926, in England and the USA.
It was made to replace a car, and the front steering shows ..
Someone crossed the US in it, in 27 days.
:)

Couldn't hurt. It's definitely in poor condition.

It's a Ner-a-car, or Neracar in the US, built by Mr. Neracher
("near(ly) a car")

Regarding restoration i agree, but on the other hand it is sometimes good to have some unrestored examples, because a thorough restoration will not let much original material left. And original old Nitro-varnishes are not produced anymore, and may not be used for obvious reasons..

This issue is especially important to aircraft buffs too: where the exact shade of colour of an old 'plane is in doubt then unrestored examples or parts are important. Especially so where the old Luftwaffe RLM (Reichsluftsministerium) colours are concerned. These colours are always the subject of huge debate in aeromodelling circles.

What's this?

From the engine and the 'propshaft' drive, i think it is a BMW. But it somehow is not ... :hmmm:
Chinese or russian replica?

Yes the cylinders are horizontal on BMWs, which is about all I know about motorbikes, and these are so . I'd like to know the names of these machines, as although I'm not a bike buff I do like to look at them.

Looks like a motorcycle with a side car to me.:D

Leave it to me to come up with a simple answer to a simple question.
If you don't ask the right question, then you won't get the answer you desire.

Ural or Dnepr?
