What is the rarest bike you have ever owned/seen?

Black huffy with yellow 3spoke mag rims.

Dude, that's awesome! Man, I loved my bike with the 3 spoke mag wheels. Mine were blue. I completely forgot about that thing until you brought it up! Man, were those the days!

I don't know about rare but this thread has brought back a couple good memories, I owned an '84 VFR1000 sold it for an '85 V65 Sabre then along came the '86 GSXR1100. Those Honda V's were the smooth, comfortable and dependable, thanks vf1000ride.

Hellmutt's post reminds me of the '97 YZF1000R that a friend of mine bought, I bet he hasn't ridden it in three years.

one of 12 produced ---the tesi1Dsr

others were tesi 851/tesi 906es

it is a crossover of the tesi 851 and the tesi 906 es

seems that they had some leftover 851 body work and some 906 engines and combined these for a lighter but more powerful bastard variant to close out this body wotk overage (at that time painted bodywork was $10k)

i saw all 12 crates and had a choice between 5 that were being assembled

For motorcycles that I have seen, anything at the Barber Motorsports Museum.

I have 2 Solex bikes. One is from the early 50's, model 2200, the second is early 60's, model 3200. The Solex is a French pedal bike with 49cc engine mounted over the front tire.

The model 2200 is process of being assembled.
