i think the Buell has decent styling, but they always looked too tall with a little too short of a wheelbase. The proportions aren't quite right for me...
Love there little catch phrase. "own the corners". that really appeals to me.

+1 for the 2004 R1
That bike looks fast just sitting there... NOTE: 180 HP at the ENGINE. It will be considerably less at the REARWHEEL. Still a FAST bike...

I like the Rune as a cruiser simply because it is the sole cruiser to challenge the accepted conventions of cruiser aesthetics. Every cruiser looks like every other cruiser these days, with the exception of how much chrome is piled on. The Rune is at least different. I also thinks the trailing link springer front is gorgeous thing of engineering beauty.

Like the looks of the Yamaha VMX1200, as well. I wouldn't mind seeing a Voxan in the flesh, either. |

If you want to talk custom stuff, Billy Lane and Indian Larry are incredible builders. I personally think Lane builds the most incredibly cool bikes around (the Psychobilly Cadillac is unbelievable), and Indian Larry wrote the book on "Ol' Skool".
There are a ton of great builders out there that are doing amazing stuff and getting little to no press when compared to Jesse James and OCC. The two I mentioned above are getting some good exposure on cable, but nowhere near enough. Guys like Horton what writes for Chopper Underground, Hackasaw of Gobster Mirage, xsspeed, Voodoo Choppers. These guys are doing incredible stuff and getting little to no press. |

Roger Bourgette (sp?) is one hell of a builder too, all his bikes oilcool through the frame, it's quite awsome. =)
I think he's got the coolest styled bikes on the planet, although, Jesse James and Billy Lanes bikes are amazing too. |

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the sexiest bike i've ever seen.... but i would love to own one. The MV Agusta F-4 AGO is a favorite of mine.
 I would gladly turn in my suzuki to have one. aside from it being faster than hell, some of the more stylish features include independant exhaust pipes for each cylinder...  interchangable transmision without having to remove the engine is another fine option for those serious racers out there. since each bike is dynoed at the factory and goes through a break in period you can giver her hell from the word go and unleash the 140+ horse power killing yourself at speeds of over 175mph. and to top it off you can always remember this... the companies goal is to build a Ferrari on two wheels
