I'm happy with these 3

Yeah the H2's were great. A former boss owned one, then he lost interest in riding and sold it. But didn't tell me first, dammit.
And someone mentioned the Benelli Sei. They are great, better I think that the Honda CBX,  and the sound.. ah yes !


As Tony says, it's impossible to narrow it down to 3 really, but it's something worth considering at any rate.
A great selection there too Tony.

For me -

First was the iconic green frame Ducati 750SS.


Secondly, released when other fellas had posters of the Lamborghini Diablo on their walls, was the devastatingly gorgeous Ducati 916, which set the style for years to come - not just for a Ducati but a lead that other manufacturers quickly followed.

I hasten to add, though, that it was the proper design which every wanted, not the abortion of a front fairing that was originally forced on the bike by Australian Design Rules pertaining to headlights. Picture, if you dare, a 916 or 748 with a single rectangular headlight. or actually see it here: http://www.omnimoto.it/foto/5265/ducati-916-748-australia/104501
Fortunately the ADRs were subsequently changed and most (if not every) 916 was converted by their owners to the proper fairing.


But as to the MOST beautiful well, that's a toughie. It would probably be a hayabu  nah, just kidding :)

Nah actually it's not hard at all, Definitely the MV Agusta F4CC (Senna version)

That Indian 841 is a bit rare here.
They only ever made just over 1000 of them and that was 75 years ago.
