Nicest bike you have seen on the road ?

[TheSmiler]

Just wondering what was the nicest bike you have seen ridden on the road, not just parked up on a car park. But someone actually riding it.

For me it was a beauty yesterday (though I can't remember the model) let on the ring road in Bristol. Beautiful looking and sounded ace little pale green and white 80's sports bike. Looked like a RD350.

Other than that it would have to be Ariel Arrow.

So anyway go on nicest bike/s you have seen ridden on the road ?

Ducati Desmosedici. Saw it a couple of times around Bristol last summer :drool:https://media.motoblog.it/d/duc/ducati-desmosedici-rr-in-umbria/ducati_desmosedici_rr_01.jpg

I've been overtaken by a desmodeci rr on the m25, I thought I was going quick on my cbr6, he passed me like I was standing still.

I've also ridden a stretch of road with a guy on an rg500 gamma which was pretty cool.

Not sure which was the nicest.

and on the opposite end of the scale there was a part bike part car monstrosity I rode past in south shields, think it may have been a supra on the rear and was a sportsbike front

Maybe not be to superbike standards, but lately I've noticed there is a really nice dark green Triumph Tiger riding around local to me.
It's defiantly a Tiger, but I think the owner has had a play with the fairings because it just looks .... better
No matter what the current weather is, this Tiger is spotless

One of the guys in my club has an X75 Hurricaine which is pretty nice to follow/look at.

My favourite is still my mates 980cc BSA Thunderbolt grasstracker. Both to look at and to listen to. Unfortunately he took it to Australia with him when he emmigrated.

I saw a mint Aprilia RS250 at the weekend, accompanied by 2 Panigales and a full carbon fibre r6.

Going to be boring and say GSXR k5. Blue/white. Looks precisely and exactly how a sports bike should, from any angle (imo). I sat on an mv Augusta once and saw it ridden, was nice as well.

I dont know about nicest as thats a bit subjective, but certainly the most unique ive seen was a Bimota Tesi 3d.... Even if its not your cup of tea youve got to admire the engineering

stock image for anyone who doesnt know what one is!

A bike being ridden, rather than used as a mantle piece ornament.

A bike being ridden was a pre requisite of the thread anyway wasn't it? That being said there is something undeniably cool about a proper traily covered in mud

The first reply looks like an excellent example of a bike that while it was ridden, it wasn't ridden - looks like the owner spends more time cleaning it than riding it.

bog standard 4 piped z900....absolutley gorgeous, and wasn't hanging about either!!!

[nowhere.elysium]

I was always rather impressed by the NR750 that parked up next to me at the Ace Cafe (on the way back from a BCF BBQ, as it happens.

That's my GS in the background, by the way.


:edit: Is this redexing for everyone else? I've added it the same way as I do with every other pic on my flickr account, and it's now being teh ghey. Fixed now.

Once saw a Hesketh being driven into Squires. Then went to have a look for it parked up (missed the owner/rider) though). Very nice looking, would have like to ask what it was like to ride/own/maintain.
