LOL! If that translates..."WHO DID THIS? WHO DO I NEED TO FIRE?"  Then I'd say that's right on target.

Pretty close.....Translation

Never mind, I think Soichiro was still around when they came up with the Pacific Coast.

Hey! Careful now, that was a good looking motorcycle! Maybe a little under powered.

Ah, yes, and so beautiful from other angles, too.

The NT700V was not all that different either.  Hot seller in other countries, but only imported 2 years in the US.  My dad has one that I rode once.  Not impressed.  It is light, but needs to be with only half a motor....

Yeah. Right after I posted that photo I thought someone will post a picture with the clam shell open. ::)

OK, so what is the consensus here? What is the most beautiful (or least ugly) motorcycle ever?
 
Separate categories for production bikes and concept bikes. Please keep it to street/highway/touring bikes. I like dual sports too, but their styling
tends toward gnarly, and gnarly leads towards macho, and then things just get ugly with measuring devices etc.

I love my Gen II C14, but the looks aren't all that great to me, Gen I was much better looking.
I actually like the looks of the FJR and the ST1300 better than either of the C14s. (some of you are thinking I'm  :nuts: :loco:)
So which bikes do you find most aesthetically pleasing to the eye? (please totally disregard any other aspect, like power and handling)
Post photos if possible preferably in a color that you think makes it look best (here come the fastest color posts, I can feel it).
I do like the looks of the Pacific Coast, but I purposely didn't post a photo of a yellow one.  :)

This should could be good.  :popcorn:
