Top 3 bikes eh?

well for me i'd have to say a cbr600 as it's beeen the best bike i've ever owned

,then a RD350 powervalve as they are so much fun(until they seize

)my ultimate bike i think thou if i had the money would be an RVF750

Ducati 998R - Sexy looks, loads fo power.
MV Augusta F4 1000 SBK - Need I say more?

The third is a tricky call, but I'll say the Fireblades, no particular year, but great the way they are as fast as the competition, but so much easier to ride.

1. GT 750 Suzuki.
A totaly mental 750 water cooled two stroke triple

Found this picture to keep the Darkside happy

2. This has to be the Honda CBX 1047cc, In-line 6 Cylinder, 24 Valve, DOHC
A truly awesome looking bike

3. Think despite it being a Harley (hate them) has to be Capt America as this was the bike that got me into chops/cruisers

Ok if we are talking just sportsbikes then I have to go with:

1. 916 still imo the most iconic and best looking bike ever made.
2. RC45 absolutley gorgeous
3. T595 - not an obvious choice but a seriously quick road bike and the best looking triumph ever made.

The ones that didn't make it:

1. MV Agusta - more a work of art than a bike.
2. All Gixxers - proper sportsbikes for the masses seince day one.
3. RS250 - not riddent one yet but twice the power of a derestricted rs125 has to be awesome.

GSX1000S Katana

far more iconic than the 916 will ever be

gsxr750 hypersports or slingshots (no water boilers thankyou! ;)

RG500 gamma

I can agreee the MV F4 750 was a work of art, not so uptodate when racing, But the F4 1000, Senna, and SBk are both, amazing looks, and will lap as fast as any jap machine.

And that Honda 6 is a wuality bit of work, would love one.

Plain and simple choices for me I'm afraid...

The first bike I ever liked as a kid.....Honda CB 200 just liked the strip down the centre of the tank....(what did I know

)

Jordan FireBlade....Saw it at Alexander Palce Show about 7/8 years ago, wanted a Blade ever since....

Finally........Raligh Chopper...now that was a cool bike...

mark i applaud your bravery, it must have taken some courage to put a benley down in your top 3 bikes

still at least it wasnt a 'dream or a cm ;)

on that note though, embarrased to admit but the first bike that i wanted to get when i turned 16 was a suzuki zr50 custom

never been a huge fan of dukes meself but they'd have to be up there somewhere.

For me it would be 1) zx6r - the bike i'd most like to have
2) hayabusa - beacuse it's the fastest bike i've ever seen
3) biomta db9 - brought art back to styling
