So, which bike is better?

With a lot of interest in Auto's here, only wingless machines please!

So, which bike is better?

Postby machineman9 » Tue May 20, 2008 3:38 pm

Bah, my friend and I are battling over which is the nicer looking bike, the Daytona 675 Triple or the newer version of the Suzuki GSXR 750

Images for the two bikes are here:

So which do you think is the nicer looking bike?

Personally I thought the 750 looked better. Both are amazing bikes (the best I have seen so far) but I thought the fairing was a bit more interesting on the 750. The 675 seems to be pointing down quite alot, it has a very high looking back-end.

I would take both home any day (and wait 6 years before I can ride one lol)



Craig, is there really a better looking bike out there? *shifty eyes*

Oh man, that looks nearly as bad as the MTT Turbine Superbike  ;D

I think the 1098 is the only decent looking Ducati

The Ducati wins it by a country mile. Im not a bike man by any means but id take a 99- whatever over the other two. If only for the noise it makes. They do sound good at cadwell.
