Best looking GP bike of all time

[Crasherfromwayback]

In your opinion...what is the best looking GP bike every built??

Call me queer...and I'm normally sooooooo not a Honda man...but I can never go past this as the ultimate looking GP weapon. Maybe it's because of what it did in the hands of the (in my opinion) master. But it looks like a fucking shark.

It's fucking gorgeous and so purposeful looking. Just wet myself again. I want one real bad.

I am sure there were more "aero" versions than this.will continue looking,I may have to resort to scanning a motocourse pic.

Indeed they were gorgeous too. Used carbon fibre for frames well before Ducati too!

I know it's a cheat but she's a cracker. R7 WSB

Ahhhh...don't get me wrong...I'd love to do white wees up her front bum...but I've seen better hanging round race bikes.

:lol: I was ambiguous on purpose but I did actually mean the R7, not a GP bike I know but still a mighty fine race bike, looks wise anyway.

NSR500 for me too, but the 1989 Rothmans version, just looks nasty, but in a good way!

yes there was another earlier one for sale too,Raymond Roche rode it.

[scracha]

Camel Honda....ridden by the master (ok...master of the 250's).

Lucky strike and pepsi suzuki's also worth a mention as do Marlboro Yammy's.

[Wingnut]

Hmmmmm the M1 is my pic of the day.

Yep thats the one for me too, particularly with Lawson riding it - every corner a work of art.

[pete376403]

The pic is a bit cluttered but the bike - 1966 Honda RC166, 250cc 6 cylinder, precision engineered jewellery.

[F5 Dave]

Well this is on my desktop atm. Never said it had to be a 500.

But then I agree of the Crafer era 500 was horn.

But the ever popular Pepsi & the ubiquitous Lawson era Marl rank too.

Hmm only have those last two as dodgy bmps & programe don't want to convert.

[That Guy]

I am biased but the Red Bull YZR500 gets my vote

[That Guy]

the good ol'days

[Maha]

The classic duo of Doohan/Gardner on the NSR's
The YZR of Wayne Rainey.

[nudemetalz]

The RGV500 (Pepsi '89 and Lucky Strike '93) do it for me !!!

honda rcv! go dani :headbang: next years champ!

[slofox]

Always liked these...

Cept that ain't Dani

[sparky10]

a great Suzuki

[That Guy]

and this one is not the best looking but for us Kiwis one of the most important:

[That Guy]

if you were ever lucky enough to see this in action it looked and sounded awesome. And ridden by another Kiwi legend too.

Not only a legend..but a true GC too. You'd not meet a nicer guy.

Nice pic of hayden!

[That Guy]

always wanted to have a go on one of these bikes - reckon they look the business too:

[sosman]

Best sounding bike at Phillip Island 04

[That Guy]

True that - super polite. I met him once when he was a rock star (he was a rock star back then) in '99. He didn't know me from shite other than I was a just another nobody working in the bike racing scene - he was super polite and accommodating - a real contrast to to most of the riders at the time...especially the European ones. Especially Fogarty.

Hah...yeah from what I've heard...Fogarty is the racing worlds biggest tossbag. His book made him sound like one for sure. I've met quite a few tossers in my time though. Anthony Gobert takes the cake...and as good as Mat Mladin is...he sucks arse too.

Fogarty was a total arse. So was Doohan while I'm at it. Both of them were the biggest two arses when I was there.

I actually found Gobert to be ok....as long as you were in the mood to party and get wasted. He bought a lot "calm the fuck down and have some fun" attitude to the paddock....as he would say; "for fucksakes I'm being paid to race bikes don't tell me to be serious!" Each to their own I guess. If he didn't race either drunk or with a hangover he would've won or got close to a championship....but nobody could stop him getting wasted ALL THE TIME!

Never met Mladin.

That'll be my pick too.

Not the same year but a good pic of Eddie in the office

Not sure if it qualifies, but because there is a Norton, Augusta and Indian pictured in this post, then I can nominate a PINK PURPLE BLUE AND YELLOW BIKE built in Christchurch

Oh c'mon...this is a "best looking GP bike thread"

Fast - Check
Engineering marvel - Check
Aerodynamic - Check
Kiwi ingenuity - Check
Good looking - Monumental Fail


A P addict couldn't find that bike good looking from any angle.

Norton and Agusta both competed in GP racing that bike built in Chch didn't (doubt Indian ever did either)and if it had wouldn't have been fast enough

Agree, twin shocks and massive drum up front just look right.
Pretty sure it made racing more 'interesting' as well...
