Best looking bike of all time
 
What's your pick for best looking sportbike(s) ever????

I have three...or 4
Will go with my mass produced favorites.....

In no paticular order...

These three have been "the face of sportbikes", if you will, to the non biking public.

mid nineties (94 up I think) Kawasaki ZX9R
at that time most of the US refered to all sportbikes as "Ninjabikes"


The original R1.
Again a bike that changed the face of sportbikes to the public and influenced the design and asthetics of many other bikes.
And a great machine as well, setting the bar for power and handling at the time.

The Ducati 996.
Drop dead sexy.
If you're basing it on looks alone...this is it.
Probably the best looking bike of all time...except for:






























The Curvy SV :cheers:

(you knew that was coming , right?);)

Apart from the obvious Curvy SV650s

The first one that comes to my mind is the Ducati 900ss (the original one)

Attachment 3140

Plus of corse Laverda Jota and Kawasaki Z1R

Ducati 916 / 996 / 998 - The only bike that ever made me go 'OMG! I want one!'

The Triumph 675 is a very sexual looking bike

Mine are biased to modern bikes, but hey ho. In no particular order:

Triumph Daytona 675

Ducati 999:

KTM Superduke R:

And perhaps most controversially, Suzuki Hayabusa (the artist will complain about the lines, the engineer will applaud it's aerodynamics)
