    No contest. It's the Daytona.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I'd have to say the Trumpy... what a pretty bike

    I agree the Trumpy looks nice, but it's British so will probably leak a oil over the back tyre, causing an accident.

    Therefore I'd have to choose the Gixxer 750.

    And that's the selection?

    No contest. It's none of them.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Wow! Hardly a complete list. It may just as well have been restricted to the 2006 squid bike models.

    What about the new FJR1300 or the all new Bandit? What about cruisers -- surely the M109R should rate a mention? Harley Davidson launched a whole new range of bikes with a new engine in 2006. Where's the Suzuki GSX600? I could go on, but hopefully my point is made.

    Fazer 1000, Triumph Scrambler, BMW F800, mutter, mumble...

    No one tell Hitcher the M109R is in the list.

    Oops....

    I was having difficulty focusing through the foam...

    But there's no way a poll like this should be used to inform a BOTY competition.

    I challenge others to name the 2006 new models I've forgotten!

    Hm. 6 squidlies, one grand tourier, one crusier and one all rounder. Do I detect a slight bias here.

    And not a Hardley in the lot.
