Thought we might do a nominations thread and a voting thread with a poll of the top 5 or something along those lines? We could do lots of categories or just have the two - 1. Bike of the year dream bike 2. Bike of the year what I'd actually buy with my real money Or would you prefer categories for the different types? Rules - Has to have been available to purchase in 2016 at some point new edit: Availble to purchase new in 2016, or to pre-order new is what I meant
That's not how I remember SS50's looking like (as seen from my Garelli Rekord as I blasted past at 60mph......). Is it Chinese?
the last sentence has me curious. do you mean it had to be new at some point (which all bikes were), and available for sale (which all bikes are, if you follow the old adage of "everything is for sales, it is just a question of price.") ? or do you mean it had to be available for purchase as a new bike in 2016? apologies for the pedantry, but I am in pedant mode at the moment...
Just found this, but it's looking like a contender for me...maybe with a less sludgy paint job. XSR900 Abarth
Yes, its a chinese take on an ss50. Imported by a guy in Milton Keynes and sold on ebay for around £850. I think my brother is picking one up for his son's 16th birthday. Apparently my nephews choice, so retro is clearly cool with the kids these days.
Favourite bike money no object : Superleggera Favourite bike that I'd buy with my own money : 1299 Although I would have preferred my own choices, why do we have to use Advkaz's format :Rage: and I've never used the italic button before as I don't like it
Favourite bike money no object I would get Alistair to build me a supermono Favourite bike I would buy with my own money (sadly not this year) Scrambler in red
Thank CamelFarmer - was just being deliberately pedantic as I had spent several hours checking loads of marketing and sales literature in work and was in genuine pedant mode. Anyway, per Advikaz format (and to annoy Exige, in Italics), here are my choices; Favourite bike money no object : Ducati Superleggera 2 Favourite bike that I'd buy with my own money : Triumph Thruxton R
