My neck is as wide as my head, and my head is large.
I like the looks of the race CB750/900/1100 a lot.

Re: The Best Looking Bike Ever?
I've got one of those, I think the Honda is better looking and a nicer bike to ride, but I wasn't brave enough to buy one, they have a reputation for being fragile and engine parts are difficult to get, the Kawasaki engine was made until the late 90s and parts are common and cheap.
Out of the GS1000, Z1000 and CB900, the Honda was nicest to ride, the Kawasaki the most reliable and the Suzuki handles better than the Kawasaki and is more reliable than the Honda, but don't rush out and buy a GS1000 (or GSX1100), the gearboxes on them are wearing out and are very hard to find in useable condition, it's easier to make the Kawasaki handle as good as the Suzuki by bracing the frame and fitting a stronger swingarm.

How many times do you have to post the same picture of your crashed LC? We get it, you raced, and crashed

I only know lots about you because you insist on boring us to death about how great you were. Narcissistic is one word to describe you, but I can think of plenty others.Yorick wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 10:42 pmOh dear. How sad.

Re: The Best Looking Bike Ever?
As I'm fairly new around here I thought I'd follow the example of the types of interesting topics that the current members post. Unfortunately I picked you as my guide......Yorick wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 10:51 pmI didn't realise you were a member till just now.

Re: The Best Looking Bike Ever?
I used to ride my mate's 916,take it out for a run every few weeks to keep things moving,it seemed to be a bit of a head turner & I knew I was on a bike with lots of kudos,but to most of my friends disdain I prefered riding my FZ750.I think the 916's a iconic bike but I prefer the look of the 888 & for me,the TT2 bikes were the best looking Ducati's.Those steel trellis Taglioni frame's look so 'Right'

I don't like the look of single side swing arm's,prefer double sides myself.

Re: The Best Looking Bike Ever?
this in the flesh at Birmingham was very very lovely. I love the 888 Ducati and the panigale though. Throw a classic Bonnie in their too

Re: The Best Looking Bike Ever?
You’re close, but not quite close enough, it’s “Desmosedici”…….a friend of mine has one and it’s epic, he also has a few Superleggera’s from over the years, they are also a contender for best looking bike.

I have considered that faired bikes can cover up a multitude of ugliness. Not all, just some.

This thread shows that different people like different bikes, it's like asking what's the best sandwich.
