I’ve never bought a bike on looks.  But I have bought bikes that I thought looked good.  I think my 2023 Honda is a good looking bike.

For 2026 if I were buying just on looks it would be the 70th anniversary YZF.  That red and white rocks!  Second place would be GasGas and I’m not really an Austrian bike fan.  26 GasGas may be the best looking Austrian bike I’ve seen to date.  The Green KX is right up there with the GasGas.  KX is a clean looking bike.

The 25 and 26 Hondas aren’t much in the looks dept.

I actually like the 24 Betas like my 300 RX with more blue than the 25 and 26 Betas, although Beta makes a good looking bike.

That red and white Yamaha is calling my name.  Like I’ve said before.  If I brought another bike home my wife would kill me and sell my body parts on the dark web!

Anybody else got a favorite for 2026.

I dig the yamaha blue

Except for a few details (the stars and stripes logo on the forks doesn't really gel with the rest of the bike, and I always have a hard times with blue rims), I really liked Soulimani's TM in Paris. A bit busy, but both really modern and with a cool late eighties vibe.

I like teal and pink, guess I'm a Barbie Girl, which is a strange disease for a straight guy in his sixties...

The Suzuki was not my bike.  Just have a couple Beta’s.

Can't get enough of your bikes. Flashy AND classy is difficult to achieve.

I’m not sure any of them are ugly at this point, Yamahas look so much better than when they looked like a bus.  Have to go with yellow though.

Went with white for linkage but I still think the KTM looks better. Just need to trim some of the dualsport fat off and this will be good to go!   Already uncorked and added map switch.
