The Purple Rain and Graffiti Bridge motorcycles are both custom jobs. While on display at the Celebrations, I saw no number on the engine.

I asked the guard, but he had no clue as to what size the engine could be.

They are 2 separate/individual bikes, and they both had their famous years on the license plates ('84 & '90). They are small motorcycles.

In 2002, $5 got you a picture of yourself on the black one:

I'm pretty sure it's a Honda CB

Maybe a CB450 or a CB750
