[#6700320]

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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

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 ?

Not the prettiest but I really like it. Looks like it'll try and kill you as soon as you touch the throttle ๐Ÿ™‚

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 ๐Ÿ˜€

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

edit- and the lines on this TZ250 are perfect-

My vote for best looking race bike is this โžก

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.

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.

Ah, the 851/888, the last Ducati built by engineers rather than styled by designers ๐Ÿ˜€

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

RGV250 in a tyga skin

I had an RGV250 and really wanted Tyga stuff. Had it tuned with an RS bottom end, lots of mods and Nikkon race pipes. Pushing 73bhp at the rear wheel when finished.. by god, didn't it go and handle well ๐Ÿ˜€

The Britten is stunning ๐Ÿ˜€

Still think this is a lovely looking bike, very competent as well.

Agreed, but a competition bike, not a race bike if you're being pedantic about it ๐Ÿ˜€
