Getting a new bike, which one is the crowd pleaser?

[Tibertus]

Honestly, I'm partial to the 919, it's just so damn sexy.

Here's pictures of the bikes in question.

919

600RR

650S

The middle one based on looks alone. The round lamp at the front doesn't really suit that style of a bike.

I think fairings are ugly and I actually prefer the round lamp. Also, the suzuki can be fitted with a fairing on the front.

This a question a biker should never ask. Ride them, and buy the one you prefer. The 600rr at high revs will get more looks than any car that isn't a Zonda, Bugatti or Enzo.

 

[Nahkis]

The CBR is smoking hot. Maybe not the most comfortable to ride, but I'd personally buy that out of those three.

 

[AWdeV]

The 919. Not as look-at-me-I'm-a-poncey as the others and it's just a beautiful bike.

 

[Dudro]

I haven'[t a clue which one performs better, but I like the one in the middle the most.

 

[miclee1]

I like the 600RR.

 

[Gamemako]

600RR -> 919 -> 650S.

I think the 650S is just downright ugly.

I'm only asking the question based on what people think of the looks. Sure, a lot of people do like the sports bike look, but there are some people who like the street fighter style too. These are also the bikes I'm kinda torn between. I think the 919 will be my pick though, it looks like it wants to kick your ass, and fitted with some after market pipes, sounds like the devil itself when you rev it. The only thing is that it's barely as fast as the 600RR and it has 300cc's on it. So there's a bit of a performance issue there.

The red one

 

[Varric]

I think the 600rr would attract more girls imo :/.

 

[FrisianDude]

The first one, indubitably.

Don't buy it based on looks, these are different classes of bike. Try them out and find out which one you prefer. Have you tried them out? Your feelings about a bike will be as varied and individual as people's feelings about books, movies, games etc.

I think you need to calm down, I've been riding bikes since I got a license, i don't own a car, just a bike. I have more miles and hours riding bikes than most people, regardless of age, and I know all the different characteristics of the bikes I've posted. I'm just asking what do people like based on looks. For **** sakes, stop treating it like it's not a legitimate question. These three different bikes all bring different things to the table, and in my mind, are equals for how much they cost, but in different areas of performance and comfort. Also, you can't just test ride bikes. Not a single dealer around here, other than Harley, allows it. I've also never seen it in other areas either. I've ridden older models of each of these bikes, and I have to say, I've enjoyed them all equally, though in different ways.

 

[Raz]

What the hell? You're the one who needs to calm down, all he did was give you some advice.

 

[Tibertus]

I couldn't have been more calm when I wrote that. It's ridiculous though that I need to explain the purpose of my question and that I don't need some amateur's advice. 

 

[Pavlov]

He kinda did what you asked to be done in the thread...

 

[Tibertus]

Meh, shoulda been specific in the question itself I suppose. Still, if I was looking for advice on performance and which bikes were the top of their classes, I'd go to a different forum. I just wanted to see what non-bikers thought of the different styles.

 

[Lost-Lamb]

Meh, can't say any of them appeal to me but all sports look downright horrible so the 919 it is.
