What feature do you rate most in choosing a motorbike?

[CHOPPA]

Colour and Horsepower

[Dougnelson]

Grunt and power (prefer triples or twins or v4s) not stupid power but a characterful motor eg Ducati air cooled twins or Triumph T3 triples (1992-2004).
Looks and sound (part of the overall aesthetic.).
Ease of use and handling (do I have to fight with the machine or is it my friend - needs abit of mongrel inside though).
Does the bike move me? Thrill me? Connect with me?
Affordability in the end determines what we actually purchase after the above factors are taken into account.

There should be an influx of K1/2 gixxer sales any fuckin day now I reckon!

Although, it's a smaller and smaller number of us who still think it's a gorgeous bike. The old girls are a tad bulky, but still sleek as fuck methinks.
