How about a Zero? I'm not about to buy one but electric bikes are definitely here to stay. Might prompt some spirited debate... and the Luddites don't own computers, yet, mostly, maybe.

Sure thing! We haven't had a 2015 Zero up yet and haven't had their base Zero S up since the 2010 model...
Just a thought, but how about we do something different to bring in the New Year, rate a classic bike. I nominate 1954 Vincent Black Shadow HRD 998. And it does have some relevance today as there is a small cottage industry in build replica's. And I am sure Mike could dig out some of the original sales bumf released back then.

I like the ideas of having an older bike on the cool wall. It could be any era from 1900 - 2013 as long as it is no longer current.
The problem with the Black Shadow is that would anyone vote other than awesome?
The problem with having such an old bike up on the Cool Wall is I don't have the photos or information for it. I have bike guides going back to 1970, but my guides really went through quite a revision in 2000 with international information, specifications and big photos. Before then, the information was hard to come by.
So bikes on the Cool Wall are a little limited to the past 45 years for basic information and best from the past 15 years (2000+) as most will have owned that motorcycle and/or rode/seen one.

I think it would definitely be interesting to throw in a non current bikes like that into the cool wall mix on occasion.

I'm up for it, feel free to suggest any of them from the guides. I think I featured a few 2000 and 2003's this year... (off the top of my head). Lots of great non-currents out there still on the roads.
