Typical MCN crap.
The X11 isnt on that list.
Gopping.

Well they haven't shown the ST at its best angle (sideways on with no luggage - its not half bad - almost a little bit mean looking). The CL just looks like a touring boxer shagged a roadking. The yanks probably like it.
Saying that, BMW don't tend to make the most aesthetically orientated bikes - even the 11s is a bit of an awkwardly proportioned "butterface" if you don't look at it right.

How
very dare you sir
The 11s is one of the nicest looking bikes ever made. May I suggest a visit to Spec-savers would be in order?

Have to agree the R1200ST should be in there - thing is, it wouldn't have taken a lot to sort it, the big issue is the top fairing and headlamp.
That Bimota looks bloody awful - but the Starck Aprilia is missing.

First time I saw a picture of the Versys 1000 I thought it was a wind-up. Then I checked out the Kwak website and realised they actually manufacture that abomination.

Is it wrong to say the ST is growing on me ..... which is better than saying the STI's growing on me I guess

How did a company like Moto Guzzi, who have always produced nicely proportioned bikes come up with the V10 Centauro. It looks like a Hyabusa that has crashed into something solid!
