Oh Yes! The clocks alone are worth admiring for their style.

If I could afford to run another bike, I'd have one like a shot.

It'd look pretty good if they removed all those scaffolding pipes from round the engine and put a proper frame in.

Shame about that. Otherwise it's a cool looking bike.

At least they used round ones and not square ones:

I think the swing arm more than makes up for it... and the paint... the pipes, headlight.

no wait, I like the frame

I'm so confused

I've always loved that MV in photos but wasn't quite as impressed with it in person as I thought I would be.

as for my vote though, Ducati 748 (with white solo cap installed)

love the exposed fasteners down the side, the color schemes, the simple siding, and that unmistakable folded over front nose that screams Ducati from a thousand feet away... and I don't even like faired bikes... or yellow

that bike is why I want to get good at riding.

The new Norton 952...

Not because I have one, but I really like the 04/05 R1s. Also I think the MV Agusta F4-750 SPR is nice.

I guess round pipes were all they could find lying around the Ducati workshop!

Square 'pipes' - now that takes a bit of thought.

When I look at both bikes in the garage (vtr and monster), I really shouldn't be taking sides.....
