In my opinion all the GT brands (GT, Powerlight, Robinson, Auburn) were very average bikes unless you look at the very high end models. The Pro Series XL, CR20 RX, P61 XL, and Amtrac were all brilliant bikes. The rest of them I definitely wouldn't consider to be some of the "best" bikes of the era.

If you consider "best" to be bikes that rode well and won races then the list will look something like this:

GT Pro Series XL - Gary Ellis dominated on this bike for years.
S&M Holmes - The privateers choice and Pistol Pete was one of a few who chose this bike over everything else.
Hyper Metro - Eric Carter won the National Title on a Metro Pro. Brian Foster made loads of mains on an XL.
Mongoose Solution - Fuzzy Hall and Brian Lopes definitely had success on these.
Redline RL740 (Kastan Made) - Mike King did well on these but he probably would have done well on anything.
+ And of the top end GT brands mentioned above.

If you consider "best" to simply be the most popular or desirable bikes then the list would most likely be very different depending who you speak to.  :daumenhoch:

cheers dude, whittled all the bikes I have ever had down to the best riders, the 3 mid (the hyper was a close 4th followed by the revcore) the new school was a necessity and is probably what killed my interest in riding, you can not match a decent mid race bike for thrill riding on a track, the 2011 Clayborn is a great solid bike and nice to ride but has yet to keep a smile on my face, coz I am a miserable bastard, lol

will have to add that I quite like the fact that you did not fall into the S&M trap and looked outside the box  :daumenhoch: but will have to concur that you should really have one in your haul.  I personally like the MK2 holmes n the challengers  :daumenhoch:

a freeagent would not go amiss either.

enjoy the slippery slope and empty pockets  :LolLolLolLol:
