Default so the big 4 2009s are out now

and what a bunch of ugly a$$ bikes (ok the honda isnt out, but we know it will be the same other than possible colors). In no particular order, here is the apparant future of super bikes. (all in their trademark colors)














Feel free to discuss the end of good looking bikes

I think the pics of thenew hondas are uglier than a sack of ********, but in person, they look great, the pictures really, really do not do them justice. The new gsxr, that exhaust is fugly. I've been diggin the ninjas for a little bit now and they are comming up with everyone else, I'd really consider one if I were in the market. The R1 looks better, not so "buggy" So, my .02, is the Kawi, then the R1, then the Honda, and finally the GSXR, mostly cause of its hideous exhaust, but, this just based on the pictures on hand, but I know the honda looks great in person and a few of the pics of them from members on here look great, just the factory marketing shots look like crap.......oh well, JMHO FWIW...

I do agree the bikes look better in person, and colors do make a difference as well. I didnt want to load up with tons of pics though, i still just think even compared to a couple years ago, they are just getting uglier. I know technology is good, but i still want a killer looking bike, and ya gotta know the 600s are soon to come for the ugly stick too.

I like the paint scheme on the Suzuki, but what I'm hating is the mufflers !!! Especially the ones on the Suzuki.It looks like they belong on a Bosozoku bike, or their inspired from some anime.It seems like Yamaha is the only one who hasn't gone bonkers in that dept.

Honestly, WTF is up with the new liter bikes??? They're all absolutely HORRID. I will admit the Honda is the most conservative, "better" looking ones (and the Kawasaki takes the prize as BUTT-***-UGLIEST) but seriously, not one is an actual looker. [:'(][:'(][:'(]

So just for a fun comparison here are all the 06 models, again in trademark colors. I think everyone looks better, cept maybe the zx10.

^^ And the Honda is pure sex on wheels. The 06/07's were truly the best looking bikes on the road. Period.

ORIGINAL: CBRclassic



They aren't made to ride in a normal way at all any more ... sure they look like they are doing 200mph standing still and that's ok ..but really ... how far can a normal person ride these new gen bikes without suffering a full bent outta shape bodily shut down ?
I cannot imagine 300+ miles on those seats, in that position ?
Its your age classic.......

Well I think Honda tried to fill that hole with VFR 800, Classic. 2 Of my friends have one, and neither of them is happy with it. Though I've allways liked the looks
