What's you're best looking bike.

Post by Glen »

Since selling the ZX10 and buying the Rex I've been supremely happy with the Rex, but every now and then I get an itch for a pure sportsbike in the garage which I've been thinking abut scratching. I've done the evaluation of the classic sportsbike thing but value for money sucks and I'm thinking I want something totally different (even non Kawasaki....please forgive me)

Anyways all this looking at modern sporties got me thinking about what you're favourite looking bike is (modern era). For mine, and the thing I think I'll end up lashing out on one day in the nearish future it's the 1098 Duc. There's just something about them that's simple yet really well thought out. So over to you....put up your favourites.

I get a huge horn every time I look at the Panagale... They are a sexy beast.
I'd buy one of I had the cash. Then if trailer it to the twisties.

I think the RSV4 would be easier to live with but.

Actually Rob, if I could find a 996 or 998 in good nick with relatively low K's it would probably be my pick in terms of value for money. They can be had reasonably inexpensively, so long as you stay away from the Specials' etc.

get the new 899 Panagale, should be reasonably priced, and got a good wrap from AMCN this issue. 8)

Italian tec would be a (dare I say it) a 999! Not to everyone's taste but that's probably why it appeals!

Jap would be a Crim! Not too sure why again but it pushes the right buttons for me! Must have a Racefit Mega system!

I I could choose a colour they'd all be white too!

In my opinion, the best looking bike = 1998/99 ZX9R, that's why I own one 8)
