Past, concept, current, etc(?) - whatever. What do you think is the best looking motorcycle.

Cruiser:
Honda Rune Valkyrie (I already know that isn't high on most people's list)

Sport Bike:
2009 Kawasaki ZX-10R with that freaky electric blue pain (Candy Surf Blue)

Naked Sport Bike:
Suzuki B-King or Honda 919

Sport Tourer:
FJR1300

Full Dress Tourer:
????? None really appeal to me. I'd take them all, no doubt, but none strikes me as particularly good looking.

Ughhh I don't know about the crossbones. It is certainly the toughest looking bike, that's for sure.

That Daytona 675 is a great looking bike. Same for the Interceptor.

I like 90% of the HD, but the small windscreen strikes me as wrong. I'd probably get an aftermarket full windscreen.

The short windscreen is exactly what I like about that particular HD. The other windscreens like on the road king looks so generic.

I gotta admit though, it took a long time before it grew on me. I used to think it looked awkward and wrong.

I saw a 2009 Triumph Street Triple R in the matte black finish on the showroom floor the other day. I probably wouldn't give a picture on a website a second look, but in person it was just hot looking.

In recent history, the Triumph Thunderbird Sports of the late nineties were beautiful.

....and most beautiful sport tourer? Moto Guzzi Norge. In red. Pure sex!

I searched images on google, the Moto Guzzi Norge is nice. Triumph Thunderbird Sports ... Well it looks like a motorcycle. It doesn't pull me one way or another.

I can say one thing about that windscreen - I always know when I see that bike. It is instantly recognizable - or at any rate - any bike with that upper fairing and windscreen.

It funny, you'd think that liking the B-King I'd like the V-Max, but it just doesn't do it for me - who knows why? I can't say.

The Ducati's all seem to have a different look about them. Definitely cool. You made me go out to Ducati's website... I keep looking at the Sportclassic Sport 1000 S.

I really like that windscreen and fairing combination. Too bad it looks too sporty of a posture for me to ride for significant amounts of time...

The 1098 is a good looking bike as well as the Buell 1125CR and Moto Guzzi's V7 Cafe (which will not be coming to the US).
