Motorbikes

 For many people motorbikes represent a rebellious lifestyle, speed and freedom. This episode of the The Greatest Ever presents every type of motorbike imaginable. From the Easy Rider chopper to the legendary Vespa city runabout to the superbike with a helicopter turbine, they're all there. But suprisingly, it’s not the fastest bike that wins. It was ultimately a motorcycle that barely does 40 km/h which captured our experts hearts. But which pair of wheels would you go for?
