A popularity contest but interesting nonetheless.

A little while longer on the monster and it could then be an order for a No 1 !!!

Pleased to see the little VFR400 makes it into the top 10, great little bike and on which i had my first taste of Thai roads in Phuket back in the 90's

Whilst on the subject of Thai roads are you going to the BMF at the end of the month?

Yeah. Last year we all rode from Thonglor. Terrible traffic down Petchburi Rd but a dozen Duc's arriving en masse was pretty cool. And unlike last year, Ducati Thailand have a stand. Edited January 15, 2010 by RusticCharm

I talked to Chum today (had to go in, my gas line popped off). Anyway, he sez we'll probably meet at 3pm on that Saturday and ride over / park together...back on topic: I'm surprised the R1 didn't make the top 10 and the 'Busa is only 19. That and 3 of the top 5 are Triumphs (ok, British mag, and they are nice bikes, but 3 out of the top 5 ) and the Bonneville is only 48th.

And what is "insurance group 17"? Reserved for the 1098, R1 and 'busa

But it was No1 in 1981!

A 2-stroke made it to #4. Not the right one but......

I also smiled when I saw the VERSYS rated higher than the ER-6.

yeah ill take that poll with a pinch of salt. how the hel_l did 30 bikes manage to finish ahead of the GSXR750. a travesty of justice to an amazing sportsbike. very dissapointed with the british biking public there!!

This is a goofball poll. Alot of the bikes aren't even available in USA (I'm looking at some on the list and going--what is that?). Anyways my CBR1000RR made a respectable 13 on the list (next to the number 12 R1). The Triumphs...what is up with that? Oh yeah, it's a BRITISH poll.

Hence the sub-heading!

I was searching for the right word, starts with 'bull' and ends up with '..it', but goofball will do!

Most of em are available in Oz but it makes no sense to have sports bike, x-roaders and tourers all dumped in together.

Nice to see my current bike at number two on that poll.

Triumph Street Triple R.......I am a Brit after all.

Sadly not in Thailand at the moment , but not far away.

Will break my heart when I have to leave it behind here in Singapore.

Great bike.....probably the best I,ve ever had.
