Which bike, down to aesthetics

britboy4321 · 12 Jun 2010 at 10:36

Mods - if possible - poll? 'Which bike looks cooler?' 'Top Bike', 'Bottom Bike'

Hi, about to get my first big bike. Woohoo!

I have done LOTS of research and after weeks of reading have got my first 'big bike' down to two contenders. Believe it or not, my final decision is NOW purely aesthetic. You do NOT need to know ANYTHING about bikes to answer my question. Which of the below two looks cooler/more awesome in your opinion? I'm not talking about mpg, handling, insurance, anything else as I know it all already - just looks now (and I know they look similarish!)!

The one with the most votes will result in a purchase from myself (piccies will follow, buying end of July). Which do I prefer? Well I love them exactly equally

So, some help with a tough decision here please lads .. which would you choose?

The decision is yours ..

I would choose the Honda...

The reason being I am sure both bikes are great to ride and the differences are probably almost un-noticeable, however I always feel Honda take that extra few steps regarding Build Quality and aesthetics.

Yam looks better imo. They're so similar it pretty much doesn't matter. From what I gather the Honda's the better bike though.

You ridden either?

When I got my Z750 I was looking at a Fazer 600 as well, soon as I sat on it I just wasn't feeling it. Felt wrong.

Good

The Honda does it for me

Purely on looks I'd opt for the top one myself!

britboy4321 · 12 Jun 2010 at 10:44

OMG its 2-2!

This is going to be closer than I thought

Honda

The black one

... no wait. Top.

SilverTongue · 12 Jun 2010 at 11:09

personally think the Yamaha looks nicer overall but would probably go for the Honda as I'm not keen on the exhaust out the middle

Yam for me.

honda

MrFunex · 12 Jun 2010 at 11:37

A pretty close run thing, I'd have to go with the top one. Don't know why, just seems to edge it.

PieEater · 12 Jun 2010 at 12:07

I don't like the exhast on the Honda so for me the Yam wins.

SKILL · 12 Jun 2010 at 12:49

Not a huge fan of either really, but I really dislike those side-exit exhausts like the Honda, so Yamaha it is

Honda

I'm a bit of a Honda fan myself, but the Yamaha looks better than the Honda. The Honda looks like they've overdone the styling on the headlamp.

Yamaha.
