Well I could, but in the spirit of "Love thy neighbour", I won't.

The black bike is an early '70's Norton Commando 850. These were the last of the breed and had electric start. The white one is a late 60's (?) Kawasaki 500 two-stroke triple. It made quite a splash when it hit the market.

OK, I will bite. The other two are a 1911 Thor IV and what would almost certainly be a 1912 Indian. Indian was the biggest selling motorcycle in the world in those years with wins at the IOM TT and other notable races.

In order if the photos:

" 'Ol Blue," "Orange Sunshine," "Rocky," and "Louise.".

How about naming this 2014 bike?

Royal Enfield Continental GT?

Since "Orange Sunshine" is taken, I'm going with "Chris".

The black Norton is a '75 (possibly '76) 850 Commando.
The white Kawasaki is a first year '69 H1 (500cc).
The other two are a little too far before my time...
