Controversial bike survey?
 
Performance Bike magazine recently did a poll to help decide the 10 most handsome bikes EVER! Below are the results,let the arguments rage. :P

1994 Britten V1000
1991 ZXR750J1
1998 Yamaha R1
1992 Fireblade
1996 MV Brutale
2005 Duc 999 (black)
2002 Proton 500
1992 Ducati 888
1986 Yamaha SRX600
2006 KTM950 Supermoto

I'm sure they fix it, the Britten's in absolutely every poll or chart they've ever done... And there's clearly something wrong with anyone who thinks the 999 is nicer looking than the 916.

I think the Britten would qualify for the "Best Sounding Motorcycle" ever as well.

Remeber watching (and hearing them) at the TT in 1994 :D, crying shame that Mark Farmer died on one that year :(

Great bikes... But they look like someone built them in their garage. Because someone did. I think there's about 5 million half-assed streetfighters that look better myself, as well as practicalyl every race and production bike ever made ;)

Northy....Don't forget the key word in the criteria here is "handsome" could the 916 not be considered as "pretty" in comparison? I dunno. The 888 oh yeah all day long! 8)

OK another of those threads that needs pics.

Not my taste at all "best looking" without a 916 that's just not right :shock:

Anyway.

I'm a huge fan... Just not of the looks.

Can't beat a nice set of Termignoni's =P~

Yamaha what? It is not worthy.

Unlike the ZXR750...oh yes...But where is the ZX-7R? Now that IS better than a Fireblade or R1.

Love the Black999/749...but I am biased.
