MV Agusta F4
Those 4 underseat pipes are gorgeous
I don't think I'd like to ride it though, just keep it in a glass case on the wall opposite the fireplace

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.
