This PC livery gets my #1 also, but special mention to the WSX MCR honda of last year.

I don't know about the best ever, but I really liked these 50th anniversary Honda bikes last year from Pala and I still don't understand why they have only used them once...

as mentioned on the first page.. Reeds had some of the best set ups over the years.. YZF250f to the end of his career. especially his Honda in 2012 with Shift gear was elite.

I'd also guess Chad Reed, but torn on manufacture, all his bikes were on point.

I believe it was Vegas 2011. Reed's Honda had a black power coated frame and swingarm. It was a badass one off look. Not as clean as some of his other Two Two Honda's but definitely sick

Most of the bikes I think look best have already been posted (80s works Hondas, MC's CRs & YZs, etc), but I always thought these bikes were badass. I'm pretty sure DV said it wasn't a good bike, though.

The classics always stand out; Stanton's '92.  Bradshaw's '93.  MC's '96 CR250.  RC's Woody Hondas 250 two stroke and the whitebros exhaust 450.  James #259 125 and 250.  But, for some reason I've always been keen on the '96 RM125.  something about it gets me...  Screenshot 13.jpg?VersionId=8bD0w

The 96-98 Zooks looked like yellow/black versions of the 92-96 CRs with RSU forks.

I love em both to be honest. I like the rarity of the 2015 cuz they only ran that style of plastic for 2 years, but both bikes are drop dead gorgeous. The white of the husky with redbull graphics is just 🤌 cheffs kiss. When it came to owning one I bought a 17 fc250 so I went for the style bike you posted so I def appreciate those model year huskies.

Along with this being an epic racing image, this bike/gear combo from Reed was awesome.

Sweet pic.

I wonder how many other people have been lapped by a guy going under them while they were in the air?  Laughing

It's usually the other way around.

I would agree. The Geico bikes looked great with the honda wing running onto the seat in 18 & a slightly different wing design from 19-20. Once the Geico logo went to the white color, the bikes looked much better than the previous kits.
