All of the sports bikes people have posted pictures of so far look the same to me, they're all the same shape, and it's not a shape I like.

I can't think of a single 2022 bike that makes me think "I want to buy that", which IMO is a shame, as if you'd asked me the same question 20 years ago I'd have answered GSXR750 without a seconds doubt, in fact 20 years ago I bought a 2002 GSXR750.

Yeah, a best-looking bike of the 90's thread would have been much more contentious :)

The 90s extend to at least 2004.

2004... that'll be the 954 Fireblade or maybe the 5VY R1 :)

Okay, I've had a look through what's new out in 2022, and I'm going with XSR900 in blue as the best out of a bad lot.

I don't like any of it, but it's the least ugly.
I'm not sure whether I'm annoyed with me for not liking new bikes or the manufacturers for not making something I want to buy.

If Honda made this

I'd buy one, so if I were to buy a new bike it would be the CB1000R, but I'm not a fan of it's looks, but I do think it's a very good motorcycle.

I really hope not, that’s one step too far.
