Personally I don't think this year's survey is as readable/enjoyable/informative as last year, but perhaps my perceptions have changed in 12 months.

Did anyones bikes make it in there ?
Forgot to get a copy to see if my bit was in there as they sent emails out about 1/2 months ago asking for reviews on the gsxr.

Interesting.

[Skudd]

My Ugly Varadero got into the top ten. Are peoples tastes changing, are the road getting so bad that only bikes like these work for the modern Biker? Or will all the pocket rocket brigade say it isn't worth a toss unless their bikes are in the top five.

I'm normally a big fan of Ride, but can only think it's the BMW and Honda riders who can be arsed filling most of these things in. I have to say though, the Beemers really are a class act - I was a 'non-believer' until a riding mate got one and jumped off fresh as a daisy after every ride, whilst we staggered off our cramped bikes, he had no bother keeping up (loads of grunt) and they really do mega miles per gallon/tank.

Still an acquired taste to look at though.

And I also consider myself too young/too new to biking to consign myself to a BMW or Honda just yet (strange how that is - new bikers consider Hondas dull, even though they are the most successful at racing and build good bikes. Maybe it's because they are good and nothing goes wrong that they are considered dull?)

As I've often said, this sort of survey is biased towards a certain type of bikes.

People who buy sports bikes tend to want everything to perform as well as possible.

People that buy commuters probably want them to be both as cheap and as reliable as possible.

Those that go for tourers are less likely to be looking at any specific bit being the best. The type of people buying the bikes listed are also more likely to be riding them fairly sedately and sticking to service intervals, etc.

Ive found over the years that ride mag is bought by people who tend to be more for the touring, even verging on the bmw owning.

to be fair its not the mags fault and we buy it because were interested and deperately hoping that a beemer is not in front.

I couldnt see rainbow motorcycles in the top shops of the north which to me was a shock, nice to know millenium is up there though, queen of strings bike is from them.

my bike is nowhere in the book this year, I fear most people sold there zzr 1200's and bought the 14, I dont fit so I kept the 12

I'm more intereested in the kit that people rate than the bikes, I tend to use and buy new kit than the bikes tbh
