For me it has to be the Raleigh Burner.
Where else would we be without the bike that bought BMX to the masses?
It's the bike that supported a whole industry on it's shoulders by encouraging trial of the sport at a low price...people got hooked, and then upgraded to a decent bike that suited their needs.
A true icon.

Gotta be the PK Ripper for me , I remember reading BMX Weekly & other mags and the Shiners ad stood out beyond all others :4_17_5:.
The Burner was the start for loads to go on to greater things so I understand the voting for that , I never had one or wanted one though so I could'nt say it was an Icon for me .
My 1st proper BMX was a Pro Star then GT Pro .

Sums it up as only Phil could!
Matt, knowing what we know now, no-one would have wanted a burner, but as a thirteen year old kid seeing a blue and yellow vision with weird yellow wheels, was a massive turning point in a lot of lives. :buck2:
