Richard Hammond shows off bonkers bike collection
Richard Hammond has revealed his entire motorcycle collection, and spoiler alert, it’s a biker’s dream.
If you’ve ever aspired to build your own mass motorcycle collection, then this video from Richard Hammond and DriveTribe, is most definitely for you.
From modern to retro, to the weird and the wonderful, you name a style of bike, or a particular brand, and Hammond’s extensive collection will most likely feature it.
The first thing you’ll notice by watching the video, is the rather extensive, yet very different line-up of BMW bikes. Hammond starts his tour by showing off a BMW R90S from the mid 1970s.
Soon after, he reveals a gorgeous Kawasaki ZXR750, which is a bike the Japanese manufacturer produced to go racing with, which ultimately went on to win the World Superbike Championship in 1993.
The superbike theme continues after a quick look at some more BMWs, before Hammond shows off his stunning Suzuki GSX-R1100. He then makes his way over to his Ducati station, if you will, which includes the iconic 916 in two editions. One of those is a Carl Fogarty SPS limited edition bike, which is number 114 out of the 202 that were produced.
I know what you’re thinking, surely Hammond gives us a sneak peak into how that bike sounds during the video, and yes, you would be right. Hammond does that with several of the bikes he talks about in the video, including the above-mentioned GSX-R1100.
Alongside the different Kawasakis, BMWs, Ducatis and Suzukis that form part of his collection, Hammond’s line-up also features an Indian FTR 1200, a model that was recently discontinued.
There’s also a Brough Superior, a Royal Enfield Interceptor, and a Suzuki Katana from the 1980s, as well as a sweet-looking Norton cafe racer.
You can see the different bikes in Hammond’s collection by watching the video on the official Drive Tribe YouTube channel.
