Friday bike

'Batgirl' bike from the 60s 'Batman' television series.


Based on a Yamaha YDS-5E (250cc 2 stroke twin), and actually ridden (including the stunts) by actress Yvonne Craig.. More details, including the truly dreadful Batgirl theme, here.

  1. This is very Penelope Pitstop! I love it. Is that a parasol on the front?

  3. Strangely, whereas I can remember the Batman television series (very popular at the time), I have no recolection of Batgirl, (or the awful theme tune!!). I wonder if the later series in which she appeared weren't shown on British television.
    However, even as a small boy I found something inexplicably alluring about Catwoman, I think it might have been her close fitting costume.......
