    we’ve had the best F1 cars so how about the best looking race only motorbike?
    I’ll open with the YZR500 of John Kocinski. 500cc, 160bhp 2-stroke mentalness

    It’s a tough choice between my old formula 400 RGV250N and my VOR 503 😉

    Probably the rc30, or various incarnations of the TZ 250 for me.

    Are some of these not race only as asked for but derived from road bikes ?

    That Suzzi looks like a commuter not a race bike 😉

    Not the prettiest but I really like it. Looks like it’ll try and kill you as soon as you touch the throttle 🙂

    The Yamaha MotoGP bikes looked lovely when they did the speed block paintwork too.

    Mine (Aprilia RS125), with me on it earlier this year-

    It’s gone now. Sold a couple of months ago to a fella for his son to progress on.

    I know it’s not the best looking, but it was still jolly nice to look at and ride 😀

    Any ’90s two stroke GP bike is worthy of a mention too-

    edit- and the lines on this TZ250 are perfect-

    stevied, why is the name Wayne on the screen? The number one plate kinda gives it away 😉
    My vote for best looking race bike is this ➡

    A stunning bike with not enough development or money to make it truely competative.

    I wish!

    If I’d been sensible in the 80’s and bought all the old, knackered Vespas & Lambrettas slowly decomposing in local sheds and gardens I’d be a very, very rich man now.

    Same with British bikes too – we used to buy them for a song and scrap them when we’d ruined them.

    Almost all the bikes here are lush, but Kev made his suzooks look **** awesome by lifting the front and drifitng at the same time. Just awesome.

    Some lovely bikes on here, the CCM is just stunning. Always liked Mitch Paytons efforts, not a huge fan of Kawasaki but his bikes always look clean.

    Older Speedway bikes are very, very beautiful too:

    Ah, the 851/888, the last Ducati built by engineers rather than styled by designers 😀

    I don’t know if they were ever raced, but blink my flipper, the Supermonos are nice-
