theRuler:
you cannot compare the burner's 1 year of popularity to a porsche or a ferrari
most iconic bike of 1983 . . . maybe. at a push. to some.
but the 80's? come on

I was talking about the Ripper, I hate Burners :2gunsfiring_v1: :2gunsfiring_v1:
(even though they were made here in Nottingham and I was at the launch at the factory)
:) DINGO :)

lol i see
i don't hate burners. they were were only really around for a year or so. the people who were into bmx got on something better. the people that weren't just left them in the shed.
got to wonder if more people would have stuck with bmx if they had got something better to start with. not more expensive either. just a better designed bike. did more harm than good in my eyes. raleigh had the chance to make bmx huge in this country. and they blew it. big time. they were the household name, the name that the bike buying parents trusted, they had the years of bike building experience. they had the market cornered. the shops loaded with their stock.
they didn't just drop the ball. they rammed a rusty spike through it then shoved it in a bucket of acid.
