the only bike i really really wanted when i was a kid was the Vincent freeystyler i was lucky enough to get !!! i deffo wasn't the rich kid on the street but worked hard to get it doing 2 paper rounds & working on a stall in the market....

Mine were the 5 classics that were pipe dreams & way out of my reach as a kid-
Ripper, Quad, TA, Master, & Performer.
All easy to find, the hardest thing was to find was a black & yellow Piranha like my 1st bike BITD
Never heard of VDC & such exotica when I were a kid, let alone ever saw one at Langsett Cycles, so they hold very little appeal to me.
Retrodan72:

This is the conversation me and lee(scary Leary) had. Half the stuff you see for mega money was nowhere to be seen bitd and holds no nostalgic value what so ever.
A JMC, a Leary turbo, a ripper, a TA and quad etc. These were the high end bikes that were few and far between, while we all had gt, diamondback, mongoose, Raleigh, kuwahara etc.
Some odd stuff in the magazines, but I lusted after the best bikes I saw in the flesh.
