Sorry guys you are all wrong. As much as you are listing fabulous bikes they are not the most iconic bike of OS BMX.
I'm prob gonna get banished to Burner forum for this BUT IT IS THE MK1 BLUE AND YELLOW TUFF BURNER.
If you put all the aforementioned bikes in a line and asked joe public to pick a BMX 90% would pick the Tuff Burner..
An icon is a figure that sums up an era. As I say it isn't the best bike listed but IT IS the most iconic to the great british public.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. It will overtake the Raleigh chopper as the next most iconic bike.
You can't look at this question as a BMXer. :angel:

Surely Iconic means greatest of an era, the burner might be the most reconisable but that is just Image Jim. I would have thought this question was meant only for a BMX'r, Iconic is the Brazil team of the 70s the Audi of the early eighties, the Roses first album to the ninties ::).
What bike is most reconisable as being the best bike of a generation :daumenhoch:

Got to agree,not the best bike but more people owned burners bitd then any other bike and everyone knows what they are...............Cheap crap... :LolLolLolLol:

ceremonial objects and symbols, huh?
probably very different from country to country as the raleigh burner means absolutely nothing to me in terms of bmx. i reckon here in Australia it could be quite a few different bikes as long as they were American just like in the mags.
going out on a limb i would suggest any mongoose product may be above the other manufacterers with redline running up it's bum in terms of being on pedestals.
in the US it's probably schwinn or perhaps hutch, but..........um, i really couldn't care less what the yanks think :2funny:
not just bikes either, there would be quite a few "iconic" parts, tracks, magazines etc
