What's your best looking bike of all time?

[Bob_Defly]

For me it's the MV Agusta F3 800 RC, just love it. And more so than the F4.

Britten V1000

Non-RC for me. Complete with triple exhaust.

The F3 is beautiful, shame it's a bit too small imho. So many to choose from, this is a really hard question!

Current faves for me and first to pop into my mind, top of the heap, it's the F4, every detail is exquisitely styled...


Bimota SB2...curves everywhere


and beautifully engineered for everything to be easily accessible...


I'll get laughed at for this probably, but
ZXR750R
Old school twin headlight look..with its hefty stocky solid unshiftable presence. Many 90's sportsbikes have this similar look...



I like other oddities like the Target MV

etc. So many others to choose from covering so many eras and genre's!

No laughter from me, I reckon some of the best looking bikes ever date from the 90s - RC30, OW01, 916, even some GSX-Rs. It's a shame the twin round headlight styling died out, such a great look. So much modern stuff seems overstyled to me. I think I'm showing my age again

edit: Doh! Some of those were from the 80s!

I've always had a soft spot for the Benelli Tornado Tre from the early 00s

I think it was so radical at the time

[morebeanz]

I'm not convinced about the exhaust, but the rest of it works very well for me!!

I took this at Brands Hatch.... lovely thing

Likewise, I think it's replacement ZX7R was a very handsome bike too. Particularly the later race rep models IMO

I thought of that as well before the F3. Lovely-looking thing with a bonkers design.

I liked the 93/94 TZ250.

Either

I can't choose between the Le Mans and the Gold Star, but I am absolutely certain that it must be a bike that showcases the engine.

[counterofbeans]

This bike was actually mine!

I had a tornado and it was a brilliant thing, sounded amazing and I loved the look of it.
But for me I’d have a RC30 out of any bike out there, I remember seeing one for the first time at brands hatch being ridden by John surtees in a suit with no lid around the paddock and was in awe

I agree. I see your two and raise you, IMHO of course
