I would have to agree with there number 1.
The most beautiful motorcycle imo is the MV Augusta F4.
A friend of mine has one, among others at his home in the Sth of France, but I must say being 6'3 and size 13 feet a 50 mile ride is its limit,as its so uncomfortable.
Crazy they haven't got a Suzuki GSXR1000 on the list :rolleyes:

That’s what you call an exhaust note😁😁better than all the 4t stuff, although I had a Z1000 with Blue Flame exhaust on it and that sounded nice especially after coming off the throttle

just a lump of plastic to me as most modern bikes are.
Have to look at older bikes to appreciate the beauty 😁
Although a 916 is nice to look at😁

So many. My favourite is the Royal Enfield Continental GT only 250cc but in its day a wonderful ride (provided you fixed the oil leaks) my son has recently changed what I think was another beauty (although not a classic) Ducati Multistrada v4 for a KTM

The weakest link in this line up….subjective opinion of course……The BMW is a great bike, but expensive to run, far more than the others in the line up.

My avatar was taken in June…..Amalfi. 3170 miles in 10 days. 600 miles on the last leg Dijon to Weston-super-Mare via the tunnel. I’ve never had a bike that I could do that sort of mileage before. 👍
The little Yamaha is a hoot.😁

Sorry but none on the list float my boat. For me my Honda Blackbird XXX was a great performance bike and my BMW GS1250 for touring.

No matter what you ride, a summer’s evening on a quiet country road, heaven, which only motorcyclist understand, If the people who never ride have to ask why 🤔, they would never understand the answer, keep smiling and keep the shiny side up.😀

Most Italian bikes, except the Ducati Mutilstrada 1000 - no mother could ever love that look! MV Augusta Brutale look amazing, Honda's monkey bike was cute and so was the older Yamaha PW50's. Currently have the big BMW GS, ugly as heck but probably the best bike ever made..

I'm quite content with this!
I can park it between a dozen new bikes but who gets the most lookers :smiley:
But to be fair, I'm in Spain and theren't too many old Brit classic bikes here.

My personel all time favourite, although I never owned one I did have a Trident T160 and at the time thought it was the dogs dangleys.

I’ve owned one these real Rocket 3’s in fire cracker red, an incredible motorcycle and fast as well as comfortable, unfortunately a bigger mortgage in the 70’s forced me to sell it, yet another regret 🙁

Lots but slow learner.
Never looked at bikes and thought cor that's beautiful, however i have seen some bloody ugly ones. Won't mention which in case i offend.
Wont put pics up of some of mine as most have seen already.
Now uncomfortable, this takes some beating. In the back left corner is a Honda CB1100

Bimota SB6 in "Raspberry Ripple" colour scheme. This was mine - now in Japan.View attachment 802834
Always fancied 1 of them after owning a Bimota YB11 for a while. I even tried to trade my BMW K1200R for a Bimota DB3 Mantra ( which is possibly the ugliest bike ever) but the dealer wasn't interested.

A very relaxed riding style for a Bimota, possibly the only 1 I could ride now!

Very underrated. And, apart from the fake wooden dash, you couldn't see just how ugly it was when riding it!
