This video present you the most Fantastic TV Motorcycles of the 80's. Battlestar Galactica, Street Hawk, Automan , and James Bond- Never say Never again.
I find it ironic that, while real motocycles in the 80's were quite gorgeous, filming crews rather decided to use those pathetic looking props. In contrast, Kawasakis used in Mad Max 1 today look as good as ever.
@@bolderiks Ha! The 80's had lots of awesome style. Yes some of it was ... a bit sad, but there were lots of great stuff designed and made in the 80's

Street Hawk was awesome! Especially love it on the early ep where it's low in the front. It was called an all terrain attack cycle adjustable for street and off road, but early on they just left it in off road mode. Sounded awesome too! And love the music
@Mike Lyons Yeah mate, I love the Original Mad Max Movies, I Don't Expect you to believe me, & I'll Probably get Trolled for saying this, but I have Mad Max's HZ Panel Van, My Uncle worked for Kennedy Miller as a Line Director, I'll see if I have any photos on this phone, I think there on my old pH, -Cheers 🇳🇿👍😉
hi everyone yes I remember all these shows and bikes from the 80's now suspended all disbelief while sit back and watch These shows back then LOL :-D the 80's and 90's I had a total blast fun times :-)
I think that when we were kids our imaginations were more expanded.....seems that kids today do not share that......we did not have phones,computers and video games.....we had the outside world.
Hey, it's Brion James as the first motorcyclist talking in this Battle Star Galactica clip of 1981 'Blade Runner' fame. 'Leon Kowolski (file section, new employee, six days at the Tyrell Corp. by the time Holden was voight Kamping him. Holden got mildly 'aired' out too, unfortunately) was his character. Sean Youngs' 'Rachael' sure knew how to 'air' Leon out of existence. She actually 'retired' him. Harrison Fords' 'Deckard' did not.
Loved street hawk (called "El Cóndor" in my country) AND Automan. Two of the first things i tried to find at the beginning of something called internet.
i remember watching most of these back in the day and thinking fantastic motorcycles were mostly just a honda xr/xl 600 or 650...and today i think they must be kinda fantastic coz honda still makes them 40yrs later and they have not changed much
Amazing! And not a single computer or 3D printer was used in making ANY of those badass machines I bet… Just lots of imagination and bare hands, and a shop full of tools!
Just remember if you were a kid growing up through those times they were the best bikes ever. And I was a kid through those days. Hollywood gave it a good go back then. You might cringe now. 👍😊🏍️
AESCULAPTORmark3 "Automan" was a great series in the 80's. It's a shame that only lasted one season. On those days it was the most expensive series in the world. 1 million dollars per episode, just because of the special effects. Thanks for sharing your comment. Cheers.
RACER TV Hi mate. Er WOW! no way did i even realise that each one cost that much to make. Worth every single dollar though. I'm 43 now and love this stuff just as i did back then.
Bishka100 Its pure comic book awesomeness! I loved this stuff as a kid, and i still love it now, and i'm almost 44 years old, lol. Good times! They trying to make everything so serious now, i don't get that.
how did i miss automan? never seen that before in my life. just going by the muffler it looked like an mid eighties xl600 or similar honda. street hawk looks like a yamaha xt600 with some street wheels and brakes grafted on.
@@skipintroux4444 In all fairness, it's not like anybody needs to go searching for self inflicted cringe. RUclips's algorithm will happily reach into deep time and click bait you with it.
David Essex in silver dream racer was another great one but I can always remember pretending with my mates back in the day we had street hawk here in the uk .
in the movie earthquake richard roundtree was a member of a thrill show and he road a honda xl 250 on a real dumb set of wooden ramps, they dubbed in a 2 stroke sound for it
I never understood why they didn't just use the sound they made, it was always authentic & way better than any of the shit sounds they dubbed in it's place.
I love the motorcycle versions of AUTOMAN.. but STREET HAWK is one of my all-time favorites.
I find it ironic that, while real motocycles in the 80's were quite gorgeous, filming crews rather decided to use those pathetic looking props. In contrast, Kawasakis used in Mad Max 1 today look as good as ever.
I always remember the one H2 750 hiding among all the four strokes.
Just lookup "80's style haircuts", and you understand the pathetic styling of everything else from that era.
@@rob-fb5xs You're right, my humble excuses. In fact, someone's hair always exploded as soon as that person woke up in the morning.

@@greenforddrums That's because Australians love fast ballsy bikes and have several world champions to prove it.
If there's one thing the eighties TV shows were good at, it's ignoring laws of physics.
Unlike todays movies...do you even matrix?
You are not familiar with LSD?

Television 📺 and Motion Picture 🎥 🎥 🎥 writers were and are the quintessential Villains in these matters.
StreetHawk was the most baddest ass bike of any TV show.

I don't remember the bike being midnight blue, thought it was black.
@@purebloodheretic4682 or Airwolf
How the feck did i get through the 80's without seeing 'Automan'?
I'd guess they only made the one pilot episode and realised straight away it was garbage. The 80's has a lot to answer for.....
and he's allergic to helmets
I saw not one of them, bussy with banging. 😂
I was thinking the same thing 😂😂Automan did ya see the way he was changing direction with the cops shooting at him 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂
They made 13 episodes, apparently.

I dunno if animation counts, but I grew up in the 80's thinking that the Cyclones of Robotech were the coolest motorcycles ever.
Oh yep now remember the name of those bikes thanks mate,You made my lockdown time more useful
Hell ya!
Or the Akira bike from the anime movie
Same, & probably the reason I ride supermotos. Cyclones were just cool!
Man , if ever they make a live action Robotech movie series with all the bells n whistles
Battle star bikes brought back a flood of memories
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
I remembered the Battlesrar Galactica scene only from this video. Thank you!!
@@YTjndallas tá tá
Street Hawk was my favorite back in those days...
Awesome motorcycle. I miss automan
I was always a fan of the Hair Bear Bunch's Motorcycle.
That was a good show 😑
Automan is the best, 10% of it would be ridiculous, and that is so much out of a scale!!
00:44 Motorcycle Oppressor MK 2 on GTA online.
01:37 Motorcycle Oppressor MK 1 on GTA online.
Hahaha beat me 2 it was like oh shit the original oppressor lol
U got there before me 👏👏👏👍
Good eye. I always felt their design was futuristic 80s; and also wondered why.
I literally came to the comments looking for this comment
I was searching for who was going to make a comment about the Opressor lol.
BSG was ahead of its time. Like windows shutting down, you hear a "jingle" when the bikes and vipers became invisible.
When I was a kid these programs looked absolutely amazing...now they look like they I made for 6yr olds.
I think that when we were kids our imaginations were more expanded.....seems that kids today do not share that......we did not have phones,computers and video games.....we had the outside world.
The original Star Trek was the most expensive show of it's time. When dynasty came out, the pilot cost more than the 3 years of Star Trek combined
I know right! I thought the acting was amazing but now its sooo 80s looking
Automans back and forth while being shot at......hilarious!!
Thumbnail is literally the Opressor Mk. 1
I think that's where Rockstar got the idea
Que Bacana e:
Inacredita'vel; incrivel a criatividade do Passado
Automan bike looks great
That duck shoot at the end was amazing 🤩, soooo freaking funny, but boy, those bikes were awesome 😎
last clip is so hilarious!
I forgot how funny that show was, lol
I thought all it was funny but I love the 80s stuff.
It's like dance with the wolves scene but instead of horse it's a unicycle.
Automan 😂
🤣
I realize this video was published a long time ago… But what about the megaforce motorcycles? Those at least deserve a place here also 😎
Never knew Automan was in the Village People?
Auto - Automan yeah - I wanna be an Automan
I can't believe that as a kid I felt for this. Wow. But that is what all we had back then

Megaforce should be on the list.
I totally agree
It was a film not a tv show though
James Bond made the list.
@@bandit252- true that
I always remember this bikes and Galactica with so much love!
I recall some amazing wipe outs playing Street Hawk with my 50cc when I was 8 yo. 😂
Thanks for bringing back some forgotten memories, Racer TV! Doesn't it seem unreal that such lame stuff was just fantastic when we were 6 years old?
Street Hawk ❤❤❤
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks, you took me back.
Battle star the best.thanks brought back memories of a great childhood.
The Automan bike, the premier choice for futuristic leather daddies!
In one of the Bond movies (maybe 'The Spy Who Loved Me') he gets chased by a guy on a motorbike + sidecar. The sidecar becomes a sort of missile.
Battlestar Galactica brings back memories.>Thanks for this..Class...love it.
Street Hawk is my life long moto , life long theme, and forever Street Hawk ❤️🔥🔥🔥👍
Super force just missed the 80s but loved that bike too👍
i remember watching most of these back in the day and thinking fantastic motorcycles were mostly just a honda xr/xl 600 or 650...and today i think they must be kinda fantastic coz honda still makes them 40yrs later and they have not changed much
Thank you for bringing back memories
You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.
@@RACER_TV yeah I miss go old shows on Friday nights then Saturday Morning cartoons for the whole Morning
Loved Automan as a kid. Met the actor decades later in New York, when he played Beast in Beauty and the Beast on Broadway.
Amazing! And not a single computer or 3D printer was used in making ANY of those badass machines I bet… Just lots of imagination and bare hands, and a shop full of tools!
Whoever rode in the Bond film had some skills
waiting to see the latest bike stunt in "No time to Die"
Oh, that was Sean Connery
The stuntmen was a Dutchmen (Holland -the Netherlands) ....
Streethawk was WONDERFUL !
Ducati must have watched Street Hawk before designing their Multistrada 🤣
That actually is a pretty cool futuristic design and would turn alot of heads if seen on our roads today. RH DSD KING DIO
hi, that was an amazing trip down memory lane, I can't believe that I forgot about most of those bikes.
DOH. 😀 👍 👍 👍
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
Galactica Turboflyer!!! Classic!
Just needed the Tron Lightcycle. 😄
Very good. Wish i could have watched all these shows.
Street Hawk is the only good TV show out of this , 13 episodes and it has a much more serious (less cheesy) tone than Knight Rider
Not worth the hours of therapy you need the other end !
Just remember if you were a kid growing up through those times they were the best bikes ever. And I was a kid through those days. Hollywood gave it a good go back then. You might cringe now. 👍😊🏍️
Indeed. I think the same. :) Cheers.
Brilliant Video All The Best Of Health To You.
Damn, I miss the 80s!
In more ways then 1
I remember a movie called Time Rider back in the 80s. lol
A modern remake would be brilliant.
I want that machine!
I never noticed how much the actor who played Automan looked like Steve Martin . Kinda sounded like him too .
Love the bit at the end where he's up on the back wheel whipping backwards and forwards.

I was laughing, it was so corny.
Bishka100
Well, i understand your point, but if you see these bikes with the 80's perspective, these bikes were amazing for its time.
Bishka100 Its pure comic book awesomeness! I loved this stuff as a kid, and i still love it now, and i'm almost 44 years old, lol. Good times! They trying to make everything so serious now, i don't get that.
You forgot TRON and CHIPs, lol. These were way more obscure and great!
+Doby Pilgrim :) Thanks for your comment. Cheers.
The last clip should be a meme.. 😂
They worry about cloaking the bikes but leave the Vipers in full view.
Lol
The Vipers also cloaked.
I'll take the vipers first
Outstanding! I nearly shat my leathers from laughing so hard!
Lol. Yes, they look ridiculous today, but they were fantastic during the the 80's. Cheers.
I didn't remember Automan having a bike. Must have been the last episodes :-(
O wauw! The last lookes like "monty python's holy grail" in the 20th century!
like india movie 🤣
that hilarious looking battlestar galactica crash helmet !!!
Great video. The faux jet turbines on the first two bikes made me think of the cool bikes from 'Priest'(2011). 👍🏆
I like this trend in the past. Gives good memories on how we used to believe precisely why creativity was born.
That was one of the bikes i wanted to have as a kid.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
I was having a dull day , until now . The last clip had me pain in my tummy laughing like mad
how did i miss automan? never seen that before in my life. just going by the muffler it looked like an mid eighties xl600 or similar honda. street hawk looks like a yamaha xt600 with some street wheels and brakes grafted on.
The "Battletruck" movie motorcycle from 1982 is pretty cool too :)
Yes, very interesting. I never saw that movie, but i did a little research after your comment. :) Cheers.
It was also known as warlords of the 21 century. I have it on dvd it’s cool.
Omg. This was hilarious and GREAT!!
AWESOME!
I don’t know how I feel about being dragged back to the 80’s. That feeling in the pit of my stomach is uncomfortable.
No one dragged you anywhere, you clicked on the link yourself.

Streethawk for me rocks my world still
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
The first bike i’m watching in 1987 when i was a kid,now i’m 40 years.
Galactica. The reason, the beginning of my LOVE for motorcycles & sci-fi entertainment in general! Besides the "genes" factor...
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
These were great, should have had the MEGAFORCE bikes though, look them up👊
Not a TV motorcycle but a fantastic one from the 80's none the less... Kaneda's motorbike from the animated movie and also manga »AKIRA«.
David Essex in silver dream racer was another great one but I can always remember pretending with my mates back in the day we had street hawk here in the uk .
The eighties was a different universe.
Great!!!
Automan straight to the Blue Oyster Bar 😂😂😂
Great stuff
Thank god, the Bikes Look much better today.
Legal 👍 😎 gostei filme 🎥
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço
That was brilliant, so funny :)
+Tommy Tucker I'm glad you liked. Cheers.
Cool!!
I loved that show.
Automan 😂😂 the 180 wheely switch 😂🤣🤣😂
Nice segment 👌🏻
Very nice
Bollywood:wee wee im king of physics
Hollywood:hold my beer
Damn ...how i miss Battlestar Galactica
Aw man, You left out Megaforce! Those were flying motorcycles too. Haha
I think the leader of Mega force had the only prototype flyer.
Epic....!
Ainda bem que as motocicletas evoluíram!
When 4 strokes sounded like 2 strokes and 2 strokes sounded like 4 strokes.
They still don’t know the difference in Hollywood, same as a single silindre with the sound of a 4 cilinder...so anoying
in the movie earthquake richard roundtree was a member of a thrill show and he road a honda xl 250 on a real dumb set of wooden ramps, they dubbed in a 2 stroke sound for it
I never understood why they didn't just use the sound they made, it was always authentic & way better than any of the shit sounds they dubbed in it's place.
still way better then today's CGI.
Those battlestar bikes could fly...
Ohhh, so that's where Rockstar got the "Oppressor MK.1" from.....
Mantap bang...👍😊🙏
Came up on my recommendations 8 years later 😂
man that first one really looks like an opressor mark1
