Re: ten worst and five best military bikes

The Bazooka Vespa is one of the most fabulous vehicles ever created!!

Re: ten worst and five best military bikes

Those MCN journos haven't got a bloody clue..They probably haven't even seen most of those, never mind ridden them to make any kind of meaningful comparison..
They should stick to what they know best... sticking their knees out a long way on corners. hanging their arses off the seat and dreaming of being racers..MCN is nothing more than a comic these days..especially the new format...Written by people with a short attention span for their mates with the same problem...and too afraid to really question anything the manufacturers do....

Re: ten worst and five best military bikes

The comic brings some rubbish at times - I would imagine the basis of their findings probably being on what looks cool over functional or excellence

Regretfully, the one journo who I respected most on the MCN was killed earlier this week at an overseas motorcycle launch, I will miss his informed articles, always a good read was Kevin

Its all a matter of perspective, if you are going into battle from the side door of a C47 the Flea and Welbike would be the best.

And the Bazooker/Vespa must be your best bet if you meet an enemy tank.

The Bazooka Vespa....... incredible! That may be the best military bike ever, though I might be inclined to relocate the seat!

Awesome, and with all that sexy Italian styling!

If you want a good read you won't go far wrong with Danny Defazios 'Sump' website....He approches the whole thing from more than one perspective and includes 'related' articles of interest as well as the core subject material....Ian

Re: ten worst and five best military bikes

Does that Vespa have three reverse gears then?

I resemble this comment, sometimes.

Doesn't work too well on the enfield though. I usually end up dragging the center stand way before my knee.

Re: ten worst and five best military bikes

I just LOVE the Vespa !!

Re: ten worst and five best military bikes

There isn't much in the world that can't be improved by sticking a ruddy great bazooka on the front! I wonder what would happen to you if you fired it whilst moving? It would certainly go backwards very quickly then!!

Re: ten worst and five best military bikes

It's a good thing the MODs never had these in the 60's
