Nice collection. 

Could add a Honda CBX or Kawasaki Z1300 and H1 in there.
If you want to throw a few sports bikes into the mix then RC30, RC45 and that super expensive Ducatti Panigalle superleggera thingy.

Have to say I like Barmy list.... but right at the top would be the Ducati 916 Senna... I would also include the FS1e.... just to go to the other extreme 

[Kiwifruit]

The Vincent would be close to the top for me.

My 89yo Neighbours', 85yo brother has a collection of classics and still races some of them. He has a story about every one of them and they all run.

Wow!!   Amazing, both the bikes & him.

That'll be Tony Nitrous in 35 odd years, but his will all be big IL4's!
