Anything in there that shouldn't be? Inbred maybe or the clockwork, is the prestige a better bike? Same with the Explosif is the Hot better? Or room for the two?

Part of the query was that although they are classics do they all ride well?

regarding the hot and the prestige - they may be better than the lower models, but they're nowhere near as iconic.
