Thanks.

There is no best for me. I can write, it's the one I'm sitting on when being out on a ride. I enjoy each bike the way it is: the looks, the power, the chassis etc.

It's simply the feel and the way these bikes talk to me while looking at them, taking care of them or even better going out on a ride with them. I like their 'language' though all three have different accents. I'm not living in the past but carried by the past. These bikes communicate the past in a modern way without being too modern.

Out of the Bullet line I like the Chrom Classic the most. Within the W line the first W800, rode the W650 before, same goes for the CB. I like the one cylinder concept of the Bullet and her pure simplicity that strips down motorbike riding to when it all begun. Two wheels, an engine and not many 'tricks', the bare necessecities to construct a motorbike. I also enjoy more cylinders and an advanced frame and brake technology like the CB offers. The W is something in between based on the initial Speed Twin idea out of the 1930s.

These bikes are not build for comparision. They won't win any but your heart, if you choose them. And the hearts of people you meet. But that's not the reason for why I bought them. It's just a nice side effect and sometimes starts a conversation.
