Best looking Bike 2022

Post by KungFooBob »

It might just be me, but I think the current gen Fireblade looks stunning...

With the F3RR a close 2nd...

I think it's the side grills in the fairings, very Ferrari Testarossa.

Anyone do any better?

Honda not immune to the 90s nostalgia either. The 90s were like 5 mins ago.

Does look nice though.

I like the 'blade. The F3RR is all a bit power ranger/transformer (for me obvs...and I usually like their styling) and the plastic around the front wheel is a) ugly and b) looks cheap.

I'd probably be happiest on the KTM. :D

Take the badges off the Honda and it could be any Jap sportsbike. I dislike those shell suit colours too. Might be better in Black.

I like the MV,both shape and colour,but the headlamp looks like a 10 y/o GSXR.

Unlike most of you lot,I like the sharp Sugomi,Transformers look favoured by Yamaha and Kawasaki.

My vote goes to Aprilia,current flavour of the month with me.

Also in with a shout, although maybe no higher than second place after the rw&b Fireblade.

If you're putting the RSV forward, it's got to be the Xtrenta version...

I love everything about that X30 except for the terrible X logo on the front.

It's 30 years since the original fireblade, can't blame them for a tribute paint job since the boys who had the posters back then are just about old enough to afford the insurance on one now.

Fwiw I think the Honda in that tricolour paint job is lovely.
The MV doesn't grab me, the KTM is just Weeksy doing Weeksy, the R1 has too much exhaust showing, the BMW is too busy.

Sorry, as much as I love a Panigale, that's not a pretty bike.

The one you had was lovely (it was you who had one, wasn't it?)

Yeah last of the twins. 1299S. The V4S is lovely. I like the above too.

Better... maybe needs to lose at least one pair of wings though.

Yeah I’m not a huge fan of the wings but looks like they’ll be standard on most these days. The V4S this year comes with them, and I reckon the S1000RR next year will have them too just like the M1000RR

Just wait until they start adding the rear cowl wings on to production models!

Ironically,yesterday at Oulton Park I said to my Fireblade owning mate that considering I'm no Honda fanboi that Fireblade in the retro colours looks really nice.In my world that makes the Fireblade the best looking bike of 2022.
I also like the Aprilia 660
Retro Kawasaki Z900RS,
That's about it,lordy there's some ugly bikes around at the momment :wtf:
Things with wings or beaks belong in aviaries not garages...
