Ever sat on a motorcycle and said "Ahhh"?

How often have you sat down on a motorcycle for the first time with the sensation that everything just fall into place? Feet placement, knee angle, hand position, shoulders, back - the works. No obvious discomfort, nothing that your body must conform to.

Quite a few, Kawasaki Zephyr 550 & 1100 being good examples. Not so much on a Triumph 660 Trident, whereas apart from being top heavy, the 900 felt nigh on perfect. My wee V50II is very close and the 750 Breva felt just right, with the low seat option (though 1" risers helped with weight distribution, when two-up).

Rider stature has a lot to do with it, along with expectations of intended use i.e. cruising/"cafe racing"/off-roading etc.

Almost every time

My build is incredibly average and/or my perception is incredibly dull.

It takes me a good 10k miles to really instant a bike anyway but I pretty much love them all when I first sit down.

In recent years I’d say my V85 is in that category. For me, my Norge is about as good, but not better.
My Suzuki GSXR1100 was horrible, but I was a lot younger so it didn’t matter and it had more power than my car.

..but I was a lot younger so it didn’t matter ...

The missus' year 2000 Laverda 750S Formula fell into that category: you fitted the bike, not the other way around.

Each and every time I sit on the Road King.

This one did it for me about a year ago - -

2025 Moto Morini Calibro 700 - - (No regrets...)

For me, it was the Honda NT650V Deauville.

The Two best:

My 2013 Victory Hard-Ball. The ergonomics are simply perfect for me as well as the aesthetics, the comfort, the sound and the modified power. It's my motorcycle nirvana.

My 2016 Moto Guzzi Eldorado. A close second to the Victory in all aspects.

They're both lifetime bikes for me. At least I sure hope that's the plan. Not sure what it would take to get me off of either of these bikes. The best thing is, I'm not looking or even considering looking.

Contentment is a very good thing.

2006 R1200GS was this bike for me. Felt like BMW tailored it for me.

Yes, but it depends what I've been eating.
