Best looking bike?

[glice]

its probly been done but I cant see any harm in it being done again.

what is the best looking motorbike in your opinion?

I'm a fan of the new 1098 and mv augusta f4

[NOMIS]

"88" gn 125 close competition with the augusta f4 cant make up my mind

[Pwalo]

Triumph T100.

[jim.cox]

The bike I'm riding - whatever that may be :)

[Meekey_Mouse]

MV Augusta F4 and the K7 GSXR600... But I'm biased ont he latter :whistle:

[EJK]

Best looking....

R6 or RSV1000R? They'll surely attract ladies :yes:

[Taz]

Munch Mammut TTS.

[imdying]

The best looking bike didn't come out of a factory like the shitters mentioned above...

F4, too much crap all over it... like they were trying to make it a special bike, rather than it simply being a special bike. 1098, nice, but not quite... it's no 916 that's for sure.

[glice]

yea 916 is very nice, the 1098 just looks like what should have been next.

I like the look ot the britten bike too.

[scracha]

Nah...the 748/916 style is still the prettiest, if not the fastest nor most reliable.

75039
70270

Rub my ring my precious

[glice]

I agree, but I like the way the 1098 looks like the next down the line, I didnt think the 999 did that too well.

[007XX]

Totally based on personal taste?

Triumph Street Triple...:drool: :drool: :love:

Although I do like it better with the pipes tucked in under, this pic is pretty cool!

[Quasievil]

Without question the 1098 is the best looking machine out there, closely followed by the mighty KLR650 whos lines and road presence it truly inspiring:cool:

[Hitcher]

There can be only one. Sex on a stick!

Naw, the D16RR has is all over the 1098... it's the way those headlight/ram air ducts were meant to be :yes:

[pocketcracker]

Well it's not an Augusta that's for sure .................... maybe a Ducati Greenframe or Supermono, followed closely by a Kawasaki H2 ........ then maybe an MV Agusta ..............sh*t there's almost as many Augustas mentioned on this page as I have Agustas in my lounge WTF !!

[jrandom]

MV Augusta

What's an Augusta?

:nono:

[Gubb]

Speed Triple.

I978 Ducati 900SS.

[megageoff76]

The Ducati Sport Classic in Darmah colours, with the 1098/848 a close second.

Thats one hot bike. Wasn't this on tardme, the only one in NZ? I'd have that in the garage if I could!

[hXc]

Bright blue SV1000.
Lime Green Triumph Speed Triple.
Ducati 748. In the only colour a Duc should be.

In no particular order.

[megageoff76]

Yeah, it still on trademe for a cool 26K.

The only way i could ever have something even remotely similar is to buy a Suzuki 350 Goose and have it repainted to match.

[Zoolander]

Was in Motomart a few weeks ago and saw an NCR Ducati lurking out the back - a bit like the pic, but road legal. Absolutely stunning, I just couldn't stop gawking at it.


I must be getting old, I'm really falling for these retro dukes...

[megageoff76]

I must make a note to avoid Motomart, its just a bloody tease. Bastards.

[Wiki Drifter]

R1, R7 and 954rr :drool:

[rocketman1]

I gotta say the Aprilia RSV1000 is one of the best looking bikes I have seen

[Zoolander]

Amen to that, theres always a good serving of motorcycle porn to be found out there. :love:

Haha gee... Forgive me for the horribly incorrect spelling mistake there..
Any one who knows me will know that one letter out is pretty good for me! :pinch: :stupid:

They are nice lookin bikes though :drool:

[Chickenlegs]

RD350lc....

Without a doubt!

[AllanB]

Best looking bike - a old Triumph Bobber. Sweet.

When I win lotto I'll buy a new Triumph twin and a big f-n hacksaw.....:doctor:


Also found this Ducati chop - ah not in my best list but interesting! :pinch:

[Forest]

I've always had a soft spot for the Honda Rune.

The funny thing is that it absolutely bombed in the market (three years after release, there are still new bikes available through American dealers)

Somebody bought one...

Never seen one in my life before and then I see this guy three times over the weekend.

Not my cup of tea.

[MaxB]

From a pure design pov the Moto Guzzi LeMans III black and gold. Angular design but everything integrates even around that lump of an engine.

Modern designers tend to hide behind acres of plastic. Pretty easy to hide an ugly motor in there.

[Matt Bleck]

k3/k4 gsx-r 1000!!!

[xwhatsit]

You guys have no taste.

Original CB400F Supersport.

[mark247]

GB looks meaaaaaaaan. Wish i still had mine in the shed....

I just like the fact that such a striking design came out of Honda ... a company that isn't particularly adventurous when it comes to styling.

those pipes are sexy

[xwhatsit]

those pipes are sexy
Everybody looks at the pipes -- marketing shots like that only encourage it -- but the tank and seat are glorious exercises in proportion and form.

Part of it is its size; there's something about tiny bikes that gets me going. It was a 408cc conversion of a particularly petite 350 for a start. But it's just so compact and tight and beautiful and complex like a tiny little wristwatch. Seeing that 1966 Honda RC181, it's got a similar sort of feel to it. You step up beside it and its miniature, the size of my bike. Low and narrow and not a millimetre wasted anywhere.

Interesting to note that the CB400F was designed by Shoichiro Irimajiri -- who, when 10 years younger, was one of the guys working on those Honda GP multis.

[desmo dave]

Ducati 916 hands down winer of the best looking modern sports bike ever

[avgas]

hmmm I will put this on price scale
SRX6
GSX750 Pop-up Katana
Bimota VDue
Anything HARRIS based
Lazareth VMax
Suzuki BKing Supercharge HUD Prototype

[Subike]

what I want to finnish up with should look lke this

[AllanB]

what I want to finnish up with should look lke this

Now this is what I do not get - why are the big 4 not putting out 4 cylinder bobbed/drag style bikes like that in the USA - surely they would sell well. There appears to be an obsession with the dang gutless big bore V twin thing.

Also I am surprised none of them have come out with a say 2000cc inline four (or 6) drag styled bike for the US market. Man would that haul arse!

I suppose there is the B-King - but thats well - big and fat and fuggly. I'm thinking lean, long and mean.

[flyingcrocodile46]

what I want to finnish up with should look lke this

Very nice

My pick would be this highly modified 78/79 Suzuki GS1000

Can't believe no one has put one of these up! :love:

[doc]

The first pic was that at one of the early Cold Kiwi's. Anyway parts are a pain for those.

Would have bought one, but try to get a packrack for one, very little after market support.

Second pic was Paeroa 199? when Lauren Poole rode one.

Heh! And try sorting the suspension for a SI Tour.... that double wishbone, parallelogram front end might even have the experts buggerd. :buggerd:

[bart]

916
Speed Triple
Duc Hypermotard
MV

I'm so confused.

[doc]

Still like an F4 but would have to be simply the basic red and silver. Not a blinged out one.

[scracha]

Can't believe no one has put one of these up! :love:

Sorry...the Britten was fast and clever engineering etc but it's one ugly son of a bitch.

I had a blue one like the picture. The attention to detail on it was amazing. Under the seat was a handbook and tool kit in a liitle 'made to fit' tool tray that rested on the frame rails. Not just an afterthought like other bikes of the time.

It was also great to ride and had a character to it missing from modern Hondas.

Modern Honda designers should be regularly beaten with parts from a 400/4 to remind them of what they have lost.

[skidMark]

Best looking....

R6 or RSV1000R? They'll surely attract ladies :yes:

I will put you on the bitch seat when i get the r6.

Thatll put the shits up ya.

[Goblin]

Sorry...the Britten was fast and clever engineering etc but it's one ugly son of a bitch.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder an all that...I still think they're gorgeous! :girlfight:

[hXc]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder an all that...I still think they're gorgeous! :girlfight:I agree, the Britten is one of them ugly beautiful bikes. Like the Tuono. :niceone:

[Subike]

I found this today
Think it has all the classic lines with the modern updates.
I think it would please a lot of riders styles.
