Default Guess the year

OK given that the org collectively knows EVERYTHING, when was this bike designed?

(I do know the answer but I'm wondering if its more widely known than I thought)

Well that was short lived, well done daveyrach, found that one on Reddit as someone passes it every day but I've since found:
http://www.diseno-art.com/encycloped...otorbikes.html whilst verifying the date cited in the comments. Interesting browse for a lunchtime.

Lol and that was a complete guess!

Knew it had to be years ago as these things normally are.

Take the Eurofighter Typhoon, you'd think its a modern plane (in most respects it is) but was first designed/developed in 1983 and first flight was 18 years ago in 1994. Yet it is our current primary air defence fighter.

16:49 on a Friday afternoon when the designer just wanted to get out the office and down the pub. Thats the only explanation I have for that monstrosity.
