Bike Design Porn

OK, a new thread....

I bloody love motorbikes. Can't remember a time when I didn't. I love riding them. Sometimes I enjoy fiddling with them, but often not. And I don't always enjoy looking at them.

That's because beauty in motorcycle design is obviously a very subjective thing. There have been some god awful gash looking bikes made over the years, and some timeless stunners. Chacun a son gout, as they say here in France.

So this thread is about what you think is a gorgeous looking bike. Not mechanical stuff, or even how good to ride. Just how it looks.


I'll kick off with a new bike that's just been released recently: the MV Agusta 800 Superveloce.



A clever blend of the latest road/sports bike technology in beautiful slightly retro clothes. It looks like it's going 150mph just stood there. I want one very much.

Over to you....

I'm totally uninterested in "classic" bikes. But there's something about these...

Years ago there was always a bike that I “really” wanted. At one time it was the Urban Tiger Fireblade, at another in was an 1150GS Adv (I did buy one of those)
For many years there was nothing that really struck me as a wow. A lot of this I put down to how accessible lots have bikes have become to me as life has moved on. I’m very fortunate to be able to say that, I know.
In the last couple of years there has been a bike that I think I almost need to have.....at some point.
Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. But it’s nice to get that buzz again.

Sorry, but it’s a.....

I’m not ready yet. The 700 Tenere that I bought in April 2020 only has 100 miles on it.

I used to own this one. Everything else seems a bit dull by comparison


These days I have more fun with a 125. Some of the new Chinese ones, like the Hero Scrambler in Bianco look like fun. An no one gets to loose their licence.
My current favourite bike is this. Each to their own

My current favourite machine is this, quite Hayabusa looking at this angle;
