Best looking bike of all time

I love that Tricolour design on the 1098 - makes it look lovely. That MV agusta with the four small pipes is pretty special too.

In the flesh I really like both the speed striple and Yamaha MT-01 - both in black. Both stubby, mad, powerful bikes that look like they will bite.

I also love the white HRC 'Blade - but that's mostly cos of the colour scheme rather than the lines of the bike.

I don't find bikes other than sporty bikes good looking, classics, tourers etc I can see why people have them but they're not good looking IMO.

I really like the RSV-R 03 model. Damn good looking bike.

MV Augusta 750F/1000F obviously, 1098, and 999R. 999R grew on me, at first it wasnt so nice looking.

SP1-2, 05-06 GSXR1000 (none of the other gixxers look like it, so nice, shame its an IL4).

As you know, one of my favourite bikes of all time, but not IMHO the best looking. If I had the money, I'd have one like a shot, but it don't look as sexy as the 916 to me.

How could you say this is not shexay!

Yes, I quite like the Busa's looks too. Although I agree it looks a bit ugly, it looks so purposeful that you can forgive it and in some bizarre way, it actually adds to its appeal.

I cant think of one that is the best "of all time" - but I just luuuurrrve these - and yes it is a sportsbike - just one that was built without fairings

Wrong, so wrong!

Busa? Butt ugly but each to their own. Two words that should never be mentioned in the same breath are "motorcycles" and "aerodynamics". Bikes are arguably the second worst vehicles on the road.

Every bike has its merits. I can find a certain grace in the most utilitarian designs. It certainly does not need an acre of plastic and a flashy paint scheme.

Cheers

and yet the busa manages the double ton with the power output of a swift family hatchback
