    Looks like a Chav has been let loose with a tin of gold spray paint.. I'd rather have a nice colourful bike. 8)

    I'd rather own one of Ago's old racing bikes. I remember seeing him at Barragarrow Bottom in the TT - frightened the sh*t out of me. :D The road wasn't very smooth then.

    Can't say I like the MV Agusta F4 anyway, but that just looks shite.

    If I was going to buy an Italian superbike I'd have a Ducati 1098 in red - lovely looking bike.

    My choice - the 05 Factory RSV R...

    The MV F4 is an awesome bike.
    I'm not sur eif the latest still do but the old ones used to come with a set of race cans to put on for track days etc.
    They sound unreal with these attached.
    The Aprillia is also a nice bike but my choice was the GSXR 750, it did everything I ever wanted in a bike and more.
    I wouldn't want it in gold though.
    Do T cut do a polish for gold plate??

    Might as well put a nice paintjob on it, it's Italian, it'll not run well enough to ever be ridden :lol:

    Having owned an F4, I can safely say they are a great machine and even now, still the best looking motorcycle on the planet. Lasy year, Harley bought MV and gave it a much needed cash injection. The replacement F4 should be out in 2010 and which was designed by Tamburini, one of the best motorcycle designers in the world!

    Its a nice looking bike but its no Italain motorcycle icon like the 916. This machine will date very quickly with its typical Jap design and look.

    Still think the last model R1 is the best looking Jap bike of all time, and a match for the Italians, but then again I'm biased as I had one. In red, awesome.

    Can't beat a 916...

    The only Motorbike full stop that really does it for me.

    I don't think Yamaha have ever got the underseat exhaust-thing quite right. The 03 R1 looked really sharp, but then it' all went a bit wrong. Suzuki got all the GSX-Rs looking great in 2005, then messed things up. TBH, I think most of the major manufacturers have lost the plot at the moment as far as design goes. Even the RSV4 got whacked with the ugly stick and would let it go (it became the exhaust).

    I'd like the bike out of Akira.

    The new R6 is proper mental looking, in a good way. I do like the newest R1 too it looks great in the flesh.

    In fact I don't think any of the superbike/sport contenders are bad looking, although I prefer naked my self 8)
