Production: 1978-79 Cr250's, or any pre 77 Bultaco Pursang or Ossa Phantom.

Works: early 80's Hondas or 78-80 OW Yamahas, yellow or Euro white. Maybe RC's last RM250

What about a Norton Manx 500?

The Manx Norton,hands down.The most aesthetically pleasing piece of motorcycle art ever produced-and I still don't have one.

ha.........Stillwelding and Robert's bike always a favorite...........and Lostboys WR and XR very cool, both a beast......
but for looks, mystique...........I'd say the Triumph (started out as a BSA) X 75 Hurricane. They only made about 1,100 of 'em.









And I thought it was the first "factory" chopper, till I got schooled.

That is an NCR Ducati. I saw it at Ducati Island at the Indy MotoGP last year, and it is even more gorgeous in person.

I honestly don't see it with the Ribi Honda.

Sure it's technologically awesome and looks really cool, but it's not at all beautiful. Looks like a beautiful factory honda wearing Forrest Gump style leg braces.

I always think of the Rockstar Makita Suzuki's of 2009 when I think of trick bikes for some reason, don't know why but they just appeal to me.

I agree. The 2009-2011 RMZ450's are the best looking modern motocrossers.

While some of the bikes posted have historical significance, they look like pigs with non-flowing lines compared to the modern MX bikes.
But beauty is a personal thing. I'm a sucker for one-off custome bikes like this one. It probably looks butt ugly to some.



A lot interesting bikes and restorations here:

Apparently Joe and Mark are having a "most beautiful bike I own" contest. Bastards.
