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.

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.

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.

It actually reminds me of This guy - even though yes - it isn't really anime.

But who can't love monster movies with robots. The B-King really looks like Jet Jaguar with this third-party windscreen - I think I just have to get....windscreen makes the headlight look like Jet Jaguar's head

I also keep thinking of several robots from the Voltron universe, but I don't have any specific ones that I can mention.

It may be that it has an anime 'feel'. But I know I've seen that robot face / headlight somewhere else before. I'll probably figure it out like 5 years from now.

Best looking bike EVAR:


Suzuki Boulevard M109R

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.

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

Certainly not to ride. And not any in photos. But I saw some of his best displayed at the AMA museum near here, and at least I could appreciate a certain art statement about some of them. Kind of like most modern art for me--I only "get" some of them, and of those, I can't say that I want to take them home but I at least have a glimmer of the art concept or statement.

Ness did a Y2K jet-engine piece, the only one apart from Jay Leno's, I guess. The paint job on it is amazing--it looks like aircraft aluminum with rust along the bolts. Kind of a commentary on speed machines, man, and physics. Oh, I see I didn't even call it a bike; I called it a "piece", like a sculpture or something. But I sure don't want one!!

Best looking sportsbike:

Benelli Tornado without a question.

I used to like you ...

I actually like this - which is somewhat surprising - as I typically don't like white bikes - not even a little bit.

Both good looking bikes, but that naked is incredible - it looks so.... Like a giant friggin' ant from THEM about to eat your damned head off! Ahhhhhhh.

The fairing on the sport bike looks like it overlaps the seat - while it looks good, that can't be too comfortable.

Damn! Diplomacy fails again!

Being a fair minded kind of bloke I'd sort of have to say, well... you know, it all depends on the way your brain is wired up... Nervous systems are all hooked up to the mains differently... It's all a matter of personal taste... It's cultural... You know, that kind of thing.

Unfortunately, however, it's simpler than that - I only have to look at one of those damned things and I know I'm right. (Though, I'd never say that, of course.)

No, I think your assessment of what a cruiser looks like is on the money



Its good to know cruisers are out there for when one gets to old and slow to mount a sporty steed, a plan B if ya like, something one would consider around the time of retiring from riding all together
