a mate had a bike that looked a lot like this back in the 80`s
but had a benelli 6 cylinder bike engine fitted
it had 6 short pipes and on full chat it sounded like a Ferrari
sadly he was killed on it when a van pulled out on him in 1983

My CBR1100xx still makes me smile when I just look at it, and when I ride, makes me giggle like a 15 yr old girl in my helmet!

or is it not that sort of ooooohhh!

I LOVE the look of the new R1
shame I just cant get on with the crotch rocket ride position!

What were the first bikes that made you go Oooooooooohhh?

This was my first one ..

This is the machine that got me interested in bikes. I was 13 when I was given this book for a birthday present, and the Katana is on the inside cover. Still have that book next to all my Haynes manuals! A guy on my course at uni had a Mk3 750 Katana with the pop up headlamp :cool:

And I now own the third one that made me go Ooooooohhh

Clearly a man of taste. I went to the launch of the original ZX10 when I was in the sixth form at school. Bloody hell I'm old

Did you see the guy who had a 'lightweight' Hayabusa in an old copy of PB?. Had a subframe imported from the US which allowed fitment of a GSXR (K8/K9 iirc) seat unit etc...that and junking the standard 'zorst made it a bit easier on the eye. Oh, and that RSV...what a beauty!

For me its the bike that got me into biking. I saw this when it came out and new I had to have one. Passed my test, ran a 2 year old ZX6R for 2 years then picked up a brand new one in blue from the showroom. happy days

Only the 916.

Other bikes are nice, but I've only ever lusted after a 916.

I'm probably going to get shot for this, but I really love the S1000RR. There's just something about the look, I like the lack of symmetry in the headlight/nose.
Hopefully I'll own one in around 12 months

It looks like someone's taken a GSXR and overinflated it

More like they've put a turd in a wind tunnel.

Got to be one of the most hideous bikes ever made.
