Oh that’s a tough one, so many to choose from but I always seem to go back to Ducatis when I think of real good looking bikes. I think the 1299S is ridiculously good looking.

ES was nicer. The E always looked like a street fighter (Crashed) Still nice but Kawasaki from around the same time had WAY more sexy bikes

They handled well for an early 80s Superbike, you should try an XS1100.

Re: The Best Looking Bike Ever?
I couldn't pick one bike,but for me a aircooled twin would be top of the list,1969 Export T120 Bonneville,a Guzzi cafe racer or well built two valve verlicchi framed Ducati. That Bimota framed Ducati that appeared on this forum last year looked gorgeous.

Well, if flames came out of the back it would look epic.

Those are apparantly the hydrogen tanks... so if it got rear-ended then you may well get flames out the back!! (albeit briefly)Count Steer wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2023 4:57 pmWell, if flames came out of the back it would look epic.

Yup.

(If it got rear ended, there'd be a big pop! and a lot of water. ).

I love the H1b and even though it's basically the same as my H1a with a few more bells,I find myself looking at that model a lot.

Saw one of those MV's at the bike mechanic's place near me. Looks great in the flesh.
