There's something from the mad max school of design with the V-MAX. The original had it too. The only quibble I have with the new model is the exhaust. But these days, they need the exhaust canister volume to meet noise and emissions standards without detracting from engine output so I suppose they did what they could with it.
To me, the B-King has a bit of Japanime design elements to it. Also, I think the headlight of the Buell 1125CR looks quite a bit like the B-King's... just as the B-King's large tank and intakes resemble the Buell's garish breadbox intakes.

I am offended one would lump the B-King and 919 the good looks category.
The HD Cross Bones and Moto Guzzi V7 are some of the best looking bikes ever.
Also the Triumph double headlight models like the Street/Speed Triples are still too Johnny 5 looking to be taken seriously.

Good, the more people making noise about the Moto Guzzi V7 the more they'll think about releasing it in the US.

So many great looking bikes out there, would be tough for me to narrow it down to just one per category.
I will say though that I'm not a fan of the HD Cross Bones. I wouldn't say it's an ugly bike but one of the best looking....eh. I like the HD XR1200, now that is a sharp looking bike. Saw one on the road the other day but I couldn't catch up to him. The Triumph S3's are pretty sharp too. I would also give mad props to the B-King. That sled is just sick.

I feel like such a numb-skull. I looked in the motorcycle dictionary and didn't find EVAR. I searched google and passed dozens of pages about the best this or that evar...
Then I figured out it was a purposeful misspelling of ever to be more like it sounds when at a monster truck rally commercial in New Jersey or the best car sales event ever or sorry EVAR!!!!
Jeez I'm such a dope.
I like the M109.
