Always Suzuki if we are talking looks. Plus you'll have money left for hookers and drugs.

Beta

Triumph

Ducati

The previous gen Honda was great, but not so much with the current radiator shrouds.

The Yamaha Blue on the Honda design would look pretty sweet.

New Hondas look so good.

Triumphs are sexy in real life with the team graphics

Monster team Yamahas are dope also

'Zuk on gold wheels. Timeless classic. Beta would be a close second.

I’m a Beta guy, got one in the garage and they rock, but the new red and white Yamaha’s and 26 GasGas are the bomb.

Based solely on looks? The Ducati. It's a beautiful bike in person.

Suzuki, but the Triumph close up with all the perfect hand welds and cnc work is absolutely gorgeous. Reminds me of a works bike. Not a fan of the fluorescent yellow and black though.

1. KTM: new orange colour scheme looks killer;

2. Honda 2026 CRF450R; and

3. Yamaha 2026 YZ450F.

I am sure there is a Beta somewhere in there for its colour scheme as well.

The shrouds on the current Honda are awful. Awful! The previous gen were some of the sexiest bikes ever

I’m not a KTM guy but this Eli FE is nice to look at.

Radiator shrouds are too pointy for me.

Triumph with BRG or forest green plastics, and brown seat, gold rims/bars for me would do the trick.

For looks?  Always Suzuki…

Second would be the Triumph.

I didn’t realize the 26 KX had a tick of blue.  That looks better than my 24.

Blue enhances almost every brand's main color. Yamaha could even use more lighter blue accents

To avoid being taken out by your wife- you need to stick to similar colored bikes. For example, I currently have a few KTMs and so if I brought home another one it wouldn’t stand out. Occasionally my wife comes out to my shop and asks me what I am hiding..

You should be a politician. You made your wife joke, and didn't at all answer the question, but people still ate it up.  Kudos.
