I think some of you lot need to borrow my glasses, I also think theres a difference between a great looking bike and an iconic one... they arent mutually exclusive.

And no I havent made up my mind which I'd plump for yet...

For something to be an iconic bike it has to be more than just the looks. What's the point of the best looking bike in the world if it doesn't do what it says on the tin?

Nope. Because it's not particularly good looking, and it's nothing new, revolutionary or noteworthy either!

Iconic: 916, 85 gsxr 750, gsx11 katana.

I'm sorry Robchester...but everyone says the Raptor is fugly but hoooweee thats one fugly mofo....sorry hun.
At least the Raptor has an iconic engine within. and comes from the pen of an iconic designer....even if having a bad day!

Also, can we make sure all these pics have the name of the bikes with them so I know what to ask Santa for this year?

So far, I'd have to say the 848 shades it, if only for the colourscheme.
