The worlds best looking bike.

[Keeper96]

I love that colour I had a kiddies electric bike in the old green and purple colour scheme and I’ve been waiting for my chance to buy a real one ever since!

Have to say I've never been a fan of putrid green as a colour. Nice bikes but the colour? Jeez.

You beat me to it

I think it's retro cool, but deffo not beautiful! But that's just me. 

[James in Brum]

I really like the ZXR, 400 and 750. Beautiful bikes.

[Ian Frog]

I have to say both of these do it for me !

Yes I know green is a bit subjective but hay ho.

I am lucky enough to still have the ZRX.

Cheers

Would red suit sir?

 

Bought off eBay after a night at the Norwich beer festival. Oops.

 

I do like the look of them, which is why I bought it. Riding it is a slightly different matter, though.

Love a red bike. Or a black one, white, dark green, silver, blue, yellow or just about anything other than radioactive green!

Handsome bikes the pair of them. If I wear dark glasses the colour is less eyeball scorching!

If I could have any bike... something to ride purely for pleasure, round the local lanes. it would be one of these.

 

 

I love the sound of this bike (and the enormous mudguards). Is it an emissions/exhaust thing that bikes don’t sound like this now? I’m aware the timings different but that can’t account for the sound surely?

[Tiggie]

I was going to say it was probably due to having no baffles in the exhaust but a quick google shows it does have them!

Interesting that so far retro bikes that look like bikes seem to be popular, whereas the modern trend for bikes that look like alien insectoid predators are not featured. 

 

Maybe the world is not entirely doomed then. 

Under no illusion that my MTs have all been butt ugly/ overly aggressive. Thats why i love them though. 

I appreciate a good modern classic style though! I will find photos that make me think

As the owner of a ZX7R in Lime Green I'm obviously biased, but I am also very partial to a ZXR (whether 750 or 400). 

 

A YouTube ZXR / ZX7R collection walk round

 

(Not my collection, obviously!)

 

Love them in red and blue, too.

Cracking bike, Steve. Love the J/K series.

Second best bike I ever saw was this S&S engined flat tracker inspired bike that uses many refurbished Harley parts .

The World's best looking bike is the one I've got .

This thread goes to show, bikes are basically great-looking machines 

 

[skyrider]

and not forgetting the yam 350LC 

[James in Brum]

I don’t necessarily think it is Good looking but I didn’t half like the look of this when I was reading bike mags in the early nineties as a tweeny/teenager. 
I’d still choose to have one now in a lottery garage.

That made me think back to when I thought the Yamaha TDR 250 was the bogs dollocks. I wondered how much they were going for now...

 

TDR250 on eBay. How much?

when i bought my first LC it was £1200 new now the same model used is around £7000

The guy who used to service my bikes in Norfolk has a fine collection of 250cc two strokes. I used to wonder why, but that seems a great investment strategy.
