For me every one is a gem.

Are there any others you would added to this list?

Most Beautiful Modern European Motorcycles

European manufacturers know a thing or two about creating art in motorcycle form

[Roger S]

Triumph scrambler for me, I do like a Triumph

 

[Two Rivers]

Achingly beautiful, and back and wrists achingly after 50 miles

 

[eurajohn]

Got to be the Aprilia RSV4 Factory

 

[Sapper520]

Only ever owned / rode Japanese, mainly due to affordability.

However, I do like looking at the Triumph’s when I visit dealerships.

Like the BMW, reminds me of my R65LS boxer back in the day, not a sport bike fan, could never do the ´sh++ing monkey´ riding position.....and most bikes were/are much faster than me...

 

[ChrisL]

Langen 2 stroke, 76bhp and 120kgs! It would be a rocket ship off the line. Does anyone know of another v twin 2 stroke?

 

[Odd-no-more]

Not my sort of bike, I love Harleys

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

Not my sort of bike, I love Harleys

You can get therapy for that

Have you seen the electric ones? I was on a site last week and a couple with a Hymer had one, he said top speed around 120 mph but 0 - 60 3 seconds! Range 150 miles.

Has to be the Langen 2t for me, bet that sounds lovely with the throttle on the stop

I have the XE version, it is a very pretty bike, but to be honest I’d rather have my KTM 1290 Adventure back to ride.

Pal had one as a courtesy bike. Road a mile up the way and couldn’t wait to get it back. Hated it. Massive torque reaction and totally impossible to filter due to its width.

I had a r65 with rs fairing, loved it, toured Europe, commuted, instructed (used to demo part 1 around the cones when first came in in early 80's!)

For me the 65 was the sweet spot in size, the 45 was gutless and the 80´s/100´s were too much bike for me, I used to commute from Luton into North London - 45mins on the bike, the car would be 2hrs min and the trains, the less said the better.....
I always was a smaller bike fan, the Honda CG125 I had was brilliant around town and I used to take it on holiday (trailered) to Wales (Gower) from Surrey to blat around the lanes....Happy days, no bikes now, arthritic fingers don´t always guarantee to work when you need them.....

 

[LesW]

The problem with 'beautiful' bikes is that they loose all proportion as soon as a rider sits on one.

I do like the 916 Ducato though.

 

[Outdoors Dad]

Oh I like them Triumph Scramblers, would make a lovely looking clothes horse in my garage

I did over 90,000 miles on an ex police R80/7 my first BMW, fitted with an Avon fairing, apart from routine maintenance the only thing it needed was valve guides as it was getting a little smokey and I converted the points ignition to optical breaker so no need to worry about points gap after that. Great bike.

Yes, I’ve ridden it. Like all electric bikes the fact that you have maximum torque from 0.001rpm all the way though to max revs gives them awesome acceleration that ICE bikes just cannot match.

It’s addictive but not great for optimising range.

Is this where you would keep it just asking for a friend.

 

[SpeedyDux]

I would have to say Bonneville.

I couldn't live with a trendy high seat + low handlebars riding position that most of the others have. OK for racing but that's all.

I also have nostalgia for lightweight Jap bikes with a low centre of gravity. Getting too old for bikes now.

That has to be a photoshop job I think

I have a Tiger 900 and absolutely love it. In May I rode 2000 miles upto and around Scotland. Excellent

I love Triumphs as I own a 1976 750cc Triumph Bonneville T140v and a 2002 900cc Triumph Thunderbird.
