10 Sexy Bikes - Cormanus - 09-29-2014
[url=http://motorbikewriter.com/top-10-sexy-motorcycles/]One man's view of the 10 sexiest bikes. But he misses the sexiest of them all.

With one or two exceptions his picks are quite bland I think. Kawasaki Vaquero! A Harley bagger wanna be. And he did miss placing the CB on the list.
RE: 10 Sexy Bikes - Henrik_imp - 09-29-2014
Certainly not my list! I think the F4 would probably make my top ten. If we are looking at bikes in production today, there are not really that many that I really think are sexy. Honestly, I would not really call the CB sexy. To me it is simply beautiful and timeless, but not sexy like the F4 is sexy.
On the other hand, I was to make a list of the 10 sexiest bikes of all time, then that would be a bit easier.

Never mind the bike choices, the writer's poor syntax , grammar and perspective had my skin crawling.
RE: 10 Sexy Bikes - The Spaceman_imp - 09-29-2014
That is the lamest list I've ever seen! I've got nothing against a Sportster, but it's about as "sexy" as Paul Sr.'s moobs. About the same age too.
By definition any list of "sexy" motorcycles that doesn't have the Ducati 916 at or near the top is cuss.
RE: 10 Sexy Bikes - the Ferret - 09-30-2014
How about the MV Agusta F4 red & silver
Vincent Black Shadow
BMW R 90S in smoke/silver
67 Triumph Bonneville in Burgoine and white
Early 70's V7 Moto Guzzi red
Norton Manx 500 racer silver
74 Ducati GT 750 red
Norton 750 Commando black
79 Honda CBX red
Ill even throw in a dirt bike
1974 Husky 250 CR motocrosser

I think we can all make a list of the 10 sexiest bikes of all time, but to the writers defence it looks like he has tried to make a list of bikes in production today (although I think the Nuda has been canned). So, as I said before, I don't think there are that many really sexy bikes in production today but the ones in the list are certainly not those I would select except for the F4.

I have to agree with that. Ever since fuel tanks started to resemble camel's humps, tails started tapering to nothing (3 ft. above the rear tire) and random angular body panels started appearing, I haven't really been a fan of modern motorcycle looks.
On the other side of the coin are the V-twin cruisers which pretty much all look the same to me.
The CB1100 and some of the other retro style bikes are the only ones I spend a lot of time looking at. I realize that this makes me sound like an old geezer. Dag Nabbit!
RE: 10 Sexy Bikes - the Ferret - 09-30-2014
Hence my list of nothing newer than 1979 except the MV Agusta

My sentiments also Flynrider. That's why, to me, the CB1100 is sexy.
