WE'VE had a couple of months since the excitement of bike shows and new model unveilings where company suits breathlessly gush about the joys of the new machines they’re hoping to flog over the coming years, and as we sit in that limbo between seeing the new 2016 models and actually getting to experience their abilities we’ve had time to cogitate over the ones that we’re most enduringly excited about.
Some are obvious, some less so, but hopefully you’ll understand with each why we’ve chosen them for this list. It’s purely subjective, of course, and presumably for every new model shown at the tail of 2015 – from scooters to superbikes – there will be someone out there for whom that bike is their personal dream machine and at the top of their list.
