Fark yeah....I had that one as well.

But my favorite was probably the semi truck that was owned by the Russian character.

Favorite nerd motorcycle that actually exists. You wouldn't catch me alive on one of those, but if I was a millionaire I'd probably own it just to own it.

Now this I actually want and would use:

What...not the supersonic speed cycle from Warrior Of the Lost World, you can't get that kind of dialog out of any other kind of modern motorcycle.

Subby's headline says "The ten coolest motorcycles in pop culture" but TFA says "10 Badass Bikes from Nerd-Dom" so the list leaves out bikes like the one Steve McQueen rides in The Great Escape. The bike may not be the coolest by itself but it is when Steve McQueen hops the fence on it.

Was it too hard for them to get screenshots to post pics of each bike? I'm not going to watch videos to see each bike.

"Clean version?"

What do you mean?

The song is on the album "Le Parc," not hard to find.

And while it's not technically a motorcycle, the dirt bike that Chuck Norris rides in Delta Force was pretty effin bad a!

Guess 'pop culture' now excludes any real bike, from say, 'Easy Rider' or 'The Wild One' 'The World's Fastest Indian' and of course the awesomeness that is 'The Great Escape.'

Also, for newer fare there's the surprisingly good (not great) 'One Week.'

psstt... I have that...

I actually have two.. one that I built and found that it's made of incredibly cheap plastic, and the second is still plastic sealed.

And as far as the list goes..

for the first time in Fark history, I actually agree with all of it except that Cy-Kill isn't as bad as some would believe it to be. The cartoon maybe, but the toy was actually nice.

I think I might've donated mine to charity when I was a kid. There was a local guy who'd take old toys (fix them if needed...if I knew then what I know now, he would NOT have gotten Jazz) and give them to the needy.

However, I do still have Wrek-Gar and all my other Transformers. I've got Kaneda's bike somewhere too.

I remember sneaking into my older sister's room to play with the M.A.S.K. condor she bought me (and ineffectively hid) for Christmas. A dizzying mix of guilt and joy. It was one of the most playable toys ever made. Baddass motorcycle that turns into a highly swooshable helicopter. Extremely satisfying.

MASK was the greatest f'n cartoon, the toys rocked too. Too bad they were so exspensive, my po' family could only buy me the Indy car.

Well, actually several people have made the one from Akira, and even a Japanese company or two have made a version, which I'd say technically makes it "real". Here are two examples:
