I've always been partial to Suzukis, so I'd have to say the Yoshimura bikes are my favorite right now.

Hanny's kawi is bad ass, Reeds Kawi is bad ass, Factory kawi is bad ass, Dungey' ktm is bad ass but I'm thinking Max Nagl's Husky just might be the best looking bike this year.

Since the beginning and up to the last year or two I would have said Honda but now I say Yoshimura Suzuki. Cool

All their front fenders are a little off, especially the KTM's. They all look tough, though. I think they would all look better with maybe a Kawi 2014 front fender.

i really really really dont get ur choice .as in you think the best looking factory bike is one that looks the exact same as anyone can go to a shop and buy. and the 1000 s of the that look the same everywhere ? i get what KTM is doing making there factory bikes look like one s you can buy . but to me its like picking a superbike over a moto GP bike . one is a road bike with loads of mods made to look just the same as any road bike you can buy .the other is as close to F1 tec .totally unattainable work of art factory bike . not saying the ktm isnt trick as hell. but it looks like a standard bike .so for me looks wise it comes way way last .

Was a good looking bike!

Shame Honda changed that bike, I think he woulda stayed there and he was better in 11/12 then any other bike I think.

I think the new Huskies or TLD might be the best looking full factory bike in 2015... The honda's are pretty busy. The Yamaha is just an ugly bike. Reed's kawi is pretty plain, I liked his last one. Monster Kawis are broshow... The Yosh bikes look good but the MXGP Suzukis are nicer I think...

I love Van Horebeek/Febvre's factory Yams.

Gajser's factory 250F is sweet also

my mate went to the GP in Germany and he reckons those HRC bikes were easily the trickest looking things in the paddock and I said 'yeah they look sick' and he goes 'no no you gotta see them in real life.. they look sick!!' haha

For me, it's Factory Honda. I especially like the true Factory Honda works bikes from the 80's when the team was stacked with Bailey, RJ and O'mara. Those bikes were like art pieces.

She's a hottie! It's a toss up between the Yosh Suzukis & Team Honda 450s IMO.

i'll see you

(those shrouds! THEM FORKS!!) DAMMMMMN

maybe it's a generational thing, but the above MX bikes look amazingly bad imo. way too busy, the sleekness is gone, they're basically NASCAR'd up. it's not the supercross and motocross I loved growing up.

KTM and Husqvarna are hands down the winners. Honda is hanging in there as well. Yamaha has tried, I'll give them that, but but it's as if they tried to make the ugliest bike they could (minus that trick capless tank).

it's all about shroud design! the 2011 KTM 450 is as good as it's ever been, that IS the trickest looking machine of all time, even replacing my favorite works Hondas pre 86.

again, it must be a generational thing. i know matching gear is out of style as well, right? smh.
