BCF Cool Wall

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

Idea shamelessly stolen from MCNNinjas.

Rules are the same as the Top Gear cool wall. Which bikes are universally cool or uncool to bikers and non-bikers alike.

i.e. Most sportsbikes would be considered uncool because they're too try hard and all look very similar, but something like a Vespa would be cool as it's small and Italian. I'm sure you all get the idea.

I'll start, the Moto Morini Corsaro has to be cool:

and the Paul Smart Ducati

Opinions, suggestions?

Not sure race reps are ever cool.

[Fawbish]

How the bejesus can a Rothmans NSR250 not be cool?


The SP1/2 is a fucking cool bike, and is of the era where roadbikes we're very similar to their "racing" counterparts. So thats very cool, and the Castrol Honda Scheme is made of win.



So which "Race Rep" is uncool then?

That bike called Brian looks like it's been flattened by a really heavy person.

The Benelli looks an awful lot like this:

Not sure which came first, but that's an '06 ER-6n.

Race reps aren't cool.

In a top gear stylee small european cars are all pretty cool, I'd say that what BMW call 'Dynamic roadsters' are cool. This is borne out by the fact that I've just got back from Rome and every 'proper' bike you see is either a Hornet, a GSR600 or an FZ6. Naked bikes are cooler than faired bikes. Two strokes are cool if they are over 125cc.

I genuinely think that this is a candidate for sub zero:

I also think that my MZ is cool because it is a genuine rat bike, not a contrived survival bike. I don't have pics of it though. Maybe I'll take some.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I think we're all gonna be a bit biased. The whole concept of the top gear cool wall was would a non car enthusiast (some actress? can't remember her name) be happy riding in it.

Now, so far I'd be happy owning most of the bikes listed. But... would someone who knows nothing about the BHP, weight, handling or even what a race-rep is be a happy pillion on one. Someone who is shallow and more concerned about the looks, sound and exclusivity.

If I talk to my un-bike-educated girlfriend about the performance of a 'cool' bike she exclaims "boring". If I show her a picture, she'll say 'cool'

Hope this makes sense.

Now to destroy any credibility of my views, I give you the Triumph TT600

https://www.motorbikestoday.com/gallery/images/Triumph-TT600.jpg

It's a Triumph, British, good performance, great chassis, first 600 in it's class to have FI, looks are marmite, and was only made for a few years so aren't very common. Ohh, and I have one
