  Well, see the short story 'From A View to A Kill' by Ian Fleming and you should get your answer.

  Yes, I think he rode a BSA of some type.

  I was more interested in what folks think he'd ride as far as a current model, hypothetically.
  
  Why? Because I'm trying to figure out what kind of bike I'll buy, of course!

  I think Bond,although surrounded by all the best gadgets and gizmos,
  would own,instead of some fancy Italian or super fast Japanese machine
  a Norton commando or a Triumph Boneville as his own personal bike,
  As for a MI6 issued machine it would probably be a BMW ,but then
  im not a biker ,so appologise bike fans.

  By the way, did I tell you, I was "Mad"?
