I just saw this on the Canadian MSN.ca site and was quite surprised and impressed by number 12 on the list.

I'm just really surprised that an mx bike would even get a mention on a mainstream site. It's true that this machine started a big change to our sport.

And no mention of these:

1968 Yamaha DT1 - a trail bike for the masses at just the right time
1973 Honda CR250R Elsinore - put the Europeans on notice that the Japanese were coming
1973.5 Maico - first motocrosser with long travel rear suspension
1975 Yamaha YZ250B - First monoshock

and last but certainly not least

1971 Suzuki TM400 - launched a million "injury forces sale" ads.Laughing
