Sad to see that Adam West just passed away - I enjoyed watching Batman reruns as a kid: According to Wikipedia the original batcycle in the comics had a 786cc water cooled V4 engine (only 4 cc larger than the VFR800) with bulletproof wind-guard and computer-controlled carburetor: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batcycle According to this link the first Batcycle on the TV show was a Harley, and then they used a Yamaha: http://www.1966batmobile.com/batcycle1.htm Harley version: Yamaha version: And of course Batgirl had her own bike and looked great in purple leather Sadly, Yvonne Craig who played Batgirl, died 2 years ago. According to this article she did all her own motorcycle riding on the show: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/yvonne-craig-dead-batgirl-1960s-816226
