As a rider, there was an episode that I have long been wanting to catch which was part of a series shown in the Discovery Channel. The series is called “Greatest Ever” which ranks the Top 10 machines through thorough research and interviews from experts. They had episodes which featured Sports Cars, Tanks, Fighter Planes, Helicopters, Weapons and Construction Machines. I’d never seen any of those. But the episode on Motorbikes is what I wanted to catch. I’ve only seen the segment on YouTube and was curious what the panel said about rest of the bikes in the Top 10.The other day, I finally found the complete set of links to the other nine segments from that show and I want to share them with all MCP readers. The bike declared the Greatest Ever was a surprise. I thought it will be won by the Ducati but as it turned out, it wasn’t just about speed. The no. 1 barely does 40 kph, but it still was voted by the experts. Interesting, isn’t it?
Here’s no. 10 and the bike’s specs/stats as provided here.
Harley Davidson Knucklehead
Year: 1936
Power: 36 HP
Engine capacity: 1,340 ccm

So are you really up to spending the next hour or so watching the remaining clips? If so, let’s proceed with the countdown from no. 9 to numero uno!
