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

(you knew that was coming , right?)
