And the only one, apart from the XS1100, that I prefer in black.

By how much did it beat out the V100 moto guzzi?

In black, naturally.

To me, some of the most beautiful motorcycles are the:

V10 Centauro - had one in BGG
V12 Griso - had one in gloss pearl white
1400 Eldorado - have one in black

By a massive amount.

If you are asking what is the best looking motorcycle with due regard for aesthetics, rideability, timeless appeal, then the V11 Sport.
Dave Swanson’s or Liam Mc Gregor’s example.
If I had either one, I would do another set of wire wheels and if I could walk away with one of them…?
This one…

I love the Guzzi's, obviously. But, I've always thought the 1950's era Indian Chief is the best looking motorcycle ever built.

Then, Indian releases this new 2026 Chief Vintage (below) and I'm like...holy crap. That's one good looking scoot too.

In fact, ever since I can remember I've been saying if I didn't ride a Guzzi, I'd be on an Indian. Well, I have an Indian and 3 Guzzi's. But, I don't have the Indian I've always lusted after, but who actually does?

Best looking Guzzi only? 100% the loopframes. Here's Gary Jenkins' 71 Ambo that I've always thought was drop dead gorgeous.

Someone on this forum owns this V7 Sport. I have forgotten who.

How can you argue with this?

Hard to argue this one Huzo. And hard to be humble.

Turin nailed it, 1100 Sport or even Daytona. Just beautiful!!!

Has there been a more beautiful paint scheme on a bike before or since? THE BMW R90 S

I think that is the one owned by an ex member that I visited in England.
I cannot remember his forum name but I think it was Cheltenham where he lived.
This shot was taken at his home.

I think the V7 in the background is the one.
His name is Derek.

I just found his forum name.
It’s Glawster…

I second Huzo’s and Turin’s emotion.
