Top 10 Most Stylish Bikes by Benelli designer Adrian Morton
|
| 1 |
1992 HONDA NR750
|
| "A bike with a very sexy proflle, in Italian-style red. It had aggressive air-intakes and carbon clothing over its radical, if unsuccessful, oval-piston engine." |
 |
| 2 |
1994 DUCATI 916
|
| "A design icon inspired unashamedly by the NR, but with a twist of real Italian flair Just compare the lines and front light profiles" |
|
| 3 |
1993 DUCATI SUPERMONO
|
| "Pierre Terblanche's (designer of the Ducati 999) finest work - sexy slim and single... who could ask for more?" |
|
| 4 |
1985 BIMOTA DB1
|
| "The bike that inspired the stunning Ducati Paso. It introduced all-enclosed bodywork while retaining a dynamic, purposeful race bike look." |
|
| 5 |
1979 KAWASAKI KR350 RACER
|
| "The bike that inspired the Supermono's fairing, with a 'Green-Meanies' image. It had a purposeful, taut styling that could be so easily re-invnted on Kawasaki's current
race bikes." |
|
| 6 |
1950 VINCENT BLACK SHADOW
|
| "A large part of its styling was the engine - probably the most beautiful to ever grace the frame of a motorcycle." |
|
| 7 |
1988 HONDA VFR7SOR (RC30)
|
| "An endurance single-sided swingarm, a modern fairing, and an overall purposeful race look that redefined what the general public wanted." |
|
| 8 |
1990 BOXER BA 747
|
| "A student's dream bike. The radical proportions, the truncated tailpiece and forward stance has inspired many naked bikes to come, including the forthcoming
Benelli..." |
|
| 9 |
1987 ELF 4 GP RACER
|
| "Radical suspension and radical looks made this machine the most unique on the GP tracks." |
|
| 10 |
1983 SUZUKI GSX1100S KATANA
