You should check the QJ Motor SRV600V. It's very similar to a HD Sportster but way more affordable. Great to see the RE Shotgun ! It's probably gonna be my first "big" motorcycle (I'm currently on a 125cc).

Triumph Scrambler 900 is the best looking retro bike to me.

[@joseaklx300r6]

Also the Yamaha.scr900

[@stevegordon2032]

Without question if we are are looking aesthetics then the Triumph Rocket in black wins hands down. It looks ferocious. After that I love the KTM. Takes bike designs to new levels.

What’s your personal favorite looking bike from the last few years. I’m still loving my 23 triumph scrambler 1200xe in black. Especially after my modifications. That 100% FTR goes really hard tho

[@Boogiebagflipper]

I picked up number 12, the 100% FTR the day it was released. Never loved a bike more in my life and I have owned a lot during my life. It’s gorgeous.

Wow. Some great looking bikes. Aprilia. Always pretty. That Yamaha is gorgeous. The Indian is sweet. And the look of the new Triumph Rocket is awesome. Now all I need is someone to buy one for me. Newest bike I have is 2012.

[@richardgrumbine4867]

I love your choices... no complaints from me... I ride an FTR and to my eye the new 100percent version is just so so...

[@flatcapcaferacer]

Thruxton RS final edition beats them all. I know it isn't new for 2024 but there isn't a list for final editions. The blue carbon FTR is also spectacular in person.

[@naturalforlife6741]

This video will generate a lot of opinions. I'm not turned on my the mustard ketchup color of the XSR900R. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Stepping out of ones comfort zone, as far as style is concerned, takes some time and adjustments. The Hayabusa will always look like a Hayabusa, I guess. It seems, the world is turning in several directions at the same time, these days. The world of the traditionalist and the world of the new versions of what a motorcycle is. The look of two wheels turning in a straight line in the wind as though it is a different version of a fan blade. The rider has to determine how much punishment they are willing to take to go fast or just to look good. Sure you build a bike that does both and when you do, how long would it take for that machine to be out dated. Tweaking here and there just doesn't determine if a rider would trade up or not. I have a stable of bikes that make me feel comfortable for what they provide me when my moods changes. That perfect bike that captures every mood that you have is a daunting task. That's why I haven't found the perfect bike after 50 years of riding. Motorcycling is one of the most expensive hobby that person can have. I have spent.probably, $100k or more on bikes through out my life.

[@alexandersekizi1910]

Oh the R 12 and the Rocket surley do look good

[@Cicero75BC]

All great looking bikes but for Suzuki the best looking one to me is the new GSX8R. As for the Harley CVO, I think the Indian Challenger Elite looks the best for that type of bike.

[@grtbgf]

I love it when the promo videos for a half-ton Harley Davidson is it powersliding and scraping in an urban environement/garage.. as if such thing would ever happen in real life, lol. These promo videos are adhd inducing in the way they are filmed anyway, for most bikes today.

I'm surprised Multi V4 RS wasn't in this video, the thing is a banger of a bike imo

Really ugly though. But then again so is 1390sdr

What about the rs457

[@lucafak]

Who put electronics as bigger factor for buying a bike?!?!?!?!?!

[@ilikelampshades6]

As much as i love triumph, im not a fan of the stealth edition paint schemes this year. Bikes should always be gloss

[@iLLuzion1st]

Matte finishes always age horribly. With a gloss finish its reasonably to buff and polish

[@ilikelampshades6]

@iLLuzion1st plus the nature of gloss is it attracts your attention. Why spend a lot of money on something for it to blend into the background? I want bright sparkling deep colours and chrome

[@iLLuzion1st]

My father sold a 64 1/2 mustang to his brother, my uncle. My uncle got a custom black cherry flake paint job. In the garage the mustang looked like a deep dark red, then when the sunlight hit it, you could see the black and red flake in the finish. Was epic. Never going to get that wow factor from a matte finish. or flat etc.@@ilikelampshades6

[@hakankillberg6043]

Great looking bike but you missed the new Triumph Trident special edition looks amazing. But on this list i pick the RE Shotgun 650. Lovely looking bike for a resonable price. Would like to see a testride from you on that bike. I wish Harly and Indian would sell more affordable bike. Their prices is like buying a helicopter for me. Redicilous. You can put BMW and Ducati on that list as well

A mix of modern and retro. But this one is for the ones who love the older style and personally, I am all for it. I think the fairing hides how big the frame is on the naked version and i would choose this version over the street one.
