    ER-6n “the most beautiful bike in the world”?

    Kawasaki’s ER-6n has been called many things – but beautiful? According to the jury at "The World's Most Beautiful Motorcycle" awards, held in Milan it is. The jury - consisting of several artists, designers, journalists and motorycle racing champion Giacomo Agostini - decided that the ER-6n is the most beautiful bike in the category 'Naked Streetbike'.

    The jury examined 26 motorcycles and scooters - the highest expression of style on two wheels - presented by 15 European, Japanese and US manufacturers. The ER-6n was the only Japanese winner.

    Not exactly an original design is it?

    Looks like Kawasaki heavily copied Benelli... Mind you copying is standard fare for the Japanese.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    The ER-6n looks GREAT in pictures.

    But in the metal? I was totally let down.

    I see the inverse for the MV Augusta Brutale. Looks fussy and the engine looks too fat in a picture. But stand next to one, absolute eye candy.

    The Italians would know, unless they were outvoted. I can't imagine them voting for a Japper.
    Maybe several million Euros changed hands.

    You must be on good shit too if you think a K6 qualifies as a 'naked streetbike', the catagory it won in...

    I for one, like it, except for the rounded rearsets...
