Several factors add to a bike’s iconography but ultimately a legendary bike is a mechanical artwork that offers a perfect harmony of desire and exhilaration.

10 Aprilia RSV4 RF Limited Edition

Aprilia might not be as popular a brand as its other Italian counterparts but over the years this motorcycle manufacturer has produced some of the greatest racing champions of all time.

8 Yamaha R7

The sportbike was powered by a 749cc, inline four-cylinder engine which produced 106 BHP of peak power output. The Japanese motorcycle company also offered racing kits for the Yamaha R7 and one such kit would allow the rider to retune the engine and turn the power up to 162 BHP
