OK so APART from the superduke, what is the most asthetically pleasing bike you have ever seen?

Handling, availabilty, age, price not a factor, just the bike you think is a piece of art in your eyes?

Must post a pic or link of said bike................

i had bikes since the 70's but the first bike I thought was good looking was the GPZ900. Those old Z's and MZ's are Jurrasic Park. TBH I didnt buy the Superduke for its looks either. If I wanted a bike to look at I would own a 1098 / 1198 or an RSV4.

This may seem a little too predictable, I think this bike is the cat's meow.
Not a giant leap from the SD but still a gorge between

..... only ten ever made, in a shed in new zealand by a brilliant engineer who decided the rules applied to someone else -function over form but still manages to look great IMO.

Whilst not attractive bikes by conventional means I rather like Confederates. They are full of cnc billet loveliness, lots of carbon and just look mean...

Was bitten by the buell bug before i turned 16 and dreamed of riding some American muscle. Turned 18 and owned an XB12r for a couple years and wont forget my learning experiences on that bike. Now that ive graduated and moved up, ive got my eye on another buell...

Ill be saving for the next 4 or 5 years.

i know the parts are from scattered countries, the fact that they call themselves an american motorcycle company and that's where they reside makes it cool to me.
