Because I was surprised that no one has come up with a thread with suggestions for 007's bike, here it is.
How about this one, of course it should be purely British:

Triumph Bonneville

Any other ideas, maybe a classic one, "borrowed" from an Indian?

    I honestly don't think there will be focus on the bike, thus why theres no focus on it on this forum. People obsess over his car because it has to blend with the highest pay grade people while still being able to perform. A bike for a stunt, however, is simply that. Just a simple tool Bond will likely nab from someone else.

    On the other hand, that there is quite a nice bike. If Bond were to be on a bike for most of the movie, which I highly doubt, it'd be a good choice.

    You could argure that Bond drove a BMW in TND, but imo it didnt matter. It would just be more money towards eon from whatever company bidded the highest.

    Craig may possess a passing resemblance to Steve McQueen, and that looks like something out of 'The Great Escape' so why not?

    That would be an interesting bit, Bond gets captured by enemy sources, put in a holding camp, and escapes across the landscape on his two wheels etc, Craig could of hit some barb wire even, it would of made a good action piece.

    Perhaps this discussion should be moved to "Bond 23"?

    yes I want bond to use "local" or "borrowed" vehicles in this film.... no AMs cruising around in Pakistan or Afghanstan.....and you say "HEY, Lets spot the secret agent..." "Gee...i just dont know where he could be..." "Maybe he is that shining just off the show room floor clean Aston Martins...nah!" ...

    A Ninja is too much of a young guy's bike...I like the idea of a British bike like a Triumph, but if he'll be in India shouldn't he ride an Enfield Bullet?

    That's probably not going to happen. The motorcycle that Bond rides will likely be something that a) can be found in India and b) is lying around or quickly available. The bike he rode in Haiti during QUANTUM OF SOLACE is probably a lot closer to what will be used. The Kawasaki Ninja - or just about any other sport bike, like the Ducati Desmosedici - would be completely out of place.
