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.

V7? 7 valves per cylinder or 7 cylinder? Or did I just reveal that I'm a doofus again?

Ok, well at least I thought it was funny. I think my sense of humor died in 1980.

Sweet - at least you won't fall off the back under heavy acceleration. I like it.

Sorry didn't mean to offend. But as far as nakeds go - I like them both. But I'm such an anime nut that I like the B-King.

impossible to name best looking bike, I really enjoy bikes being different and different for so many reasons.

What I like seeing are mods, the more subtle the better. I love standing there looking at a bike knowing its been altered and working out how where and why.

Obviously cruisers arnt my thing so i dont waste a lot of time looking there, however, the supercharged V & Street rod appeals to me on some level.


The new black CBR1000RR draped & dripping in carbon fiber does look the goods

I also have a soft spot for the Kawasaki Z1R (circa 70's super sport) it just looks phat !!!!

A nicely modded SR500 (cafe style) is up there for me.

And ya just cant go past any of the Vincent range...sweet


blah
blah blah

the list could just go on and on and on ........

Sport Bike: 2009 CBR1000RR. That's right, I said it.

Naked Sport Bike: Either a BMW K1200R or Triumph Scrambler

Sport Tourer: FJ1300 or VFR800

Full Dress Tourer: Does a Road King count here?

I don't think there is a hard classification for Full Dress Tourer. Does it have hard bags? Is it big? Is it comfy? Does it have a drink holder?

Interesting that you counted the VFR800 as a Sport Tourer - and you aren't the only one. I like it for that - as long as you have the extra 1K for the hard saddlebags.

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.

Yay - someone doesn't think the B-King is a beast.

Hmmmm. . . for me, handsome is as handsome does. Probably the only ones that I really don't like are the ones badly ridden and the ones rusting in the yard. And the long, low, fat-tire Arlen Ness imitative chopper thingies. As an art concept, yeah, I get it & even admire it--but to have or to ride?? Blechhh! On the street, I think they are the epitomy of fugly. I feel kind of bad, because I know they are a lot of work, a lot of money, and the owners are very, very proud of them. But, OMG, stick-a-finger-down-my-throat fugly.

Praytell, what anime bike does the B-King remind you of? I watch my fair share, and your fair share, but don't really see the connection.

Also we may need an anime thread.

Arlen Ness makes the most god awful ugly things on earth. I have never seen anything by him I remotely liked.
