Can we sing koombaya now?
But seriously, good few points. All aspects of motorcycling are divided in opinion, it keeps it interesting.

Anything with two wheels and a motor interests me, there are some wonderful choices out there today.
I cannot afford or am I able to keep them all, so I try to choose one that will do and do well, most of the things I like to do on a motorbike.
Value for money is important too, so I thought that the current run-out Triumph Tiger 955i fits most of my requirements and also gives me the best bang for my bucks, so I bought one.
The Honda TransAlp did most of what I wanted but just needed to be up about the 1000cc to be perfect and the Honda Varadero was too expensive compared to the Tiger.
I think I might have bought a Suzuki V-Strom 1000, if the Tiger hadn't have been on offer at the time.
That about sums it up for me.Cheers John.
My Passion is always for something rare, but something almost legendary - when people dont know what your bike is, they like it. When they do know what it is they will really appreciate it.
Every son-of-a-bitch has a gixxer, zx, cbr, or r1/6 really, because they are good bikes, but you gotta break away from the norm and find a gem.
I love every single bike, no matter if its a dirt bike or a chopper...I love em. I can see something appealing in every bike. I love Suzukis, their designers seem to have a eliment thats put into all their bikes that I love.
I love late 80s to early 90's Hondas, the NC30, RC30, RC35, 1992+ CBR900, NC23 CBR400rr...pure sex!
Kwaka ZXR750, ZXR250c and a....and now I have a new found love for the ZZRs.
Yamaha R1, MT01, Thunderace....just to name a few....
Any bike I see, I can see something that ignites the love for motorcycles in me...every bike has its own features which need to be applaud.
Call me crazyyyyy....as long as its Motorbike Crazy!
1990 GSXR 750 - want one, can be crap, can be awesome....pm me.

Big, heavy, yet fast. Kind of sums up the ZX11 ...and just like Morcs said, every second person has a flipping GSXR.. ive ridden a few and cant say im a big fan. Get away from the norm, have something a bit diferent that people have to ask. A bike that looks nice but doesnt scream "rocket" yet takes off and creams all over everything in its path.

mmmm I like the more unique and innovative stuff, like that confederate thingee, and the Vyrus and Tesi's etc. I also love some of the rarer factory superbikes, rc30 and 45's etc, the big two strokes (rg500 etc), even some of the choppers, not the bolt together jobbies though ( even though I'd never own one) and i like to see owner modded stuff too ( like the RG500 of bimotabob's, love that bike), but again not the bolt-on specials, anyone can do that. And I love the Turbo'd monsters too....

What gets my interest in bikes since I was a kid is the sound that different bikes make. The deep roar of a Ducati, the high pitch 2 stroke sound of my old little Aprilia 50CC, the cruisers rumble, the older bikes mechanical sound and my favorite ever: the sound of a Thumper, turning on the DR650 still put a huge smile on my face every time.
