The Best Looking Bike Ever?

[Whysub]

Best looking bottomless money pit by far

[Bustaspoke]

That DB2 based special on here the other year was stunning.& as far as I can tell unique



For me it has all the right ingredients, a aircooled twin cylinder motor in a steel tubed frame,light weight & no gadgets/clutter
I wouldn't park it in the garage,it would be in the lounge so that I could look at it when I'm not out riding it.

My fave. Had a standard one. GREAT engine but crap handling. Even now many bike later still feel it`s the best looking bike ever.

Only it's mother could love that

You've never seen a half faired one. I love the naked EFE, but prefer the old ET.

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)

Yup. I saw another thread about the bike but they do look like rocket engines.

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

There's hydrogen buses in Belfast. The tanks are supposedly safe to 600 degrees. And they're surrounded by fibreglass that burns at something like 1200....

First riot will be fun.

Based purely on looks and setting aside any shades of practicality,or what the thing is like to ride.

What's your choice?

The original Z1 with the black engine gets my vote all day long.

'75 Z1-B in blue looked much better.

'75 Z1-B in blue looked much better.

Tis lovely yes,maybe a close second to the original,but not nicer to my old lamps.

Someone fucked up the stripes on the tank on that one....

@Ian What do you reckon,a light polish and we're done?

Wow, I have literally given away classic bikes in better nick than that.
You wouldn't keep much apart from the frame and engine cases to get it registered
To be fair I guess mudguards must be like hens teeth now, the wheels don't look bad so it might be worth 500 quid but we both know its going to fetch a lot more

[Mr Moofo]

Mind you, it would be better with the X1 swingarm , thunderstorm heads and a better (Penske if possible) shock

The new prototype hydrogen powered Kawasaki


... probably won't win the prize,

Yes, it’s not rocket science. Or is it?

Aren’t hydrogen flames hard to see though?

Yup. But I'm sure you could add something to make the flames purple or maybe bright red (strontium should do red iirc ).

An hour and forty left on the bidding and it's up to £1220

I had an ET, good bike, but the GS1000E that had the same frame was better looking.

I can't believe that this bike is being touted as a possibility for 'Best looking bike ever'. Get a grip, FFS.

It`s all about opinions. We all have one !

The 350LC has to be in there as a contender:
