Talkback: The 10 Sexiest Motorcycles of All Time

Pretty predictable list, but in my order:

1. Ducati 998s
2. Laverda Jota
3. Moto Guzzi V7 Eldorado
4. Ducati 900ss
5. Hesketh
6. Vespa (the older the better)
7. Honda CBX1000
8. Kawasaki Z1
9. BMW R90s
10. Norton Commando

My top 10 bikes would be:

1. Bimota V-Due
2. Cagiva V593
3. Ducati 748 SPS (in yellow)
4. Aprilia RS250 (original)
5. Honda RVF400 NC35
6. Yamaha R7
7. BMW R25/3
8. Ducati Streetfighter S
9. Bimota SB6R
10. Suzuki TL1000s

Glad to see the Slabby was there (even if was the 750 and not the 1100).

I would have liked to see the RD350LC a bit higher and the RC30 at the top spot.

Personal taste I guess...

yamaha R1

   any sexier and I'll go blind...

           Number 1.          1999 Suzuki Hayabusa, Copper.

 The motorcycle that revolutionised the meaning of pure usable power and top speed.The rest are just expensive pose machines.The new MV's are expensive assesories promoted by fasion magazines as sexy.Where is the evidence to show thier worth ?   

The Busa set the bench mark in aerodynamic design and linear power,something the rest of the manufacturers are only just acheiving today.

Pretty true to form - but they missed out a few:

Husky Nox

Vincent Black Shadow

Bimota Tesi

Gilera Saturno

 And more - loads for other people as it is a bit subjective, personally I'd include a VOR530SME and a CR500AF.

HONDA X11 anyone?

no didnt think so..... love is blind as they say.

Aaaahhh.........no. I dont feel that Ive just been reliably informed for some reason. You people have no soul. How on earth could you leave out the BMWR90S? The first 1998 R1 as well - they went downhill from there though, the new ones look like a girl addicted to plastic surgery. i.e., should be sexy but has just done a bit (a lot) too much. The RD350? Every design principle of sexiness is missing from that bike. You got number 1 right though, no contest there.

Basically it goes like this. Japanese bikes are all ugly except for their racing machines. They had a little revival in the late 90's early to mid 00's and have just gone absurd now. Italians lead the way in design and always have done basically, the Germans were hot post world war 2 up to1980 when they totally lost the plot. The Brits ? Yeah they're alright. I dont see how you could leave out the Brough Superior or the Norton Comando, though Triumph MK2 has never roused my trouser. Americans? Should stick to burgers - and they're no good either. Get that Harley out of there, Ive never seen such over ratedness in all humanity, though they'd make good tractors.

i own a ducati 916 sps, all i can say is wherever i go, everybody from kids to chicks , elder women , men , all look and gaze at it s beauty.

and when i ride it, it s roar makes the car alarms go off, kids cry thinking they got struck by thunder, girls get wet wherever i go.

that s what i call a sexy bike, and my dream cometrue since i was an embrio .
