The Best Bikes

course.. you probably wouldn't want one for everyday use...
and I couldn't ride it 1% of how it should be...

but DAMN are they awesome bikes.

and they are Kiwi made....

designed by a Kiwi etc.

Too much of a horses for courses question.

You wouldn't do the Paris to Dakar on the Britten, you wouldn't race Rossi on a Goldwing. (well you might but I doubt you would do that well)

So I suppose the answer for me is 'my bike' - what ever that might be

Agreed, that bike, and it's story, John Britten, bloody awesome testament of a legend. Bike and riders, the few that were lucky enough, totally astonishing.

Lil' confusing re budget etc.
If budget conscience...Suzuki, easily.
The best finish by far out of all of my bikes: MV Agusta

My Honda must be good because it didn't fall over in the quake.

Yep.

Do you mind, sir, if I constitute the CDDGCI council to help you?

I ride a Triumph and think it is a fantasic bike (for me) however I voted Honda, as I believe that their products represent the best retail quality/value; which was afterall the question asked.

Whilst I have ridden a few Hondas and would love a CBR (as a toy) they're just not for me.

If I was to change from my Triumph (which is unlikely in the short term), I'd go for a Kwaka ZX14.

Each to their own eh!

question should probably have been a little simpler. eg. "If money was no object, what one production bike would you buy?"
Given that Suzuki is the biggest seller in NZ, it would be logical to think that Suzuki will win most polls that don't stress an unlimited budget. Without a budget though, many people could possibly choose somehing else.

hyobags arent worth mentioning . and the other option is for bmw. we all know what the car drivers are like, not necessarily bad drivers they just think they own the road.

What do you think is the best, budget aside. Things to consider, budget, affordablity, quality, availability, and amount of pleasure it can give.

So, budget aside, considering budget........ er........... hmmmm.

Viewing the poll results, I note so far it is not exactly a victory for Victory......

I would hasit a guess that due to budget, Suzuki is considered the best bike taking into account budgets.... simply because it is in fact the best seller and everyone has a budget more or less.
