Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what makes a bike beautiful?

 

Honda CB1000R+? Ducati 996? Vincent Black Shadow? Suzuki Gladius? (Ok, probably not the Suzuki!)

Beauty might be in the eye of the beholder but it’s not all subjective either. 

FortNine takes a deep dive into motorcycle aesthetics. 

I wouldn't disagree with them either. The Indian FTR1200 was on a shortlist of two - and was just pipped by my lovely CB1000R+ . 

OK, it's obviously not just about looks - a great bike is one that rides fabulously, handles well. But, a wise man once said that if your don't get "that" feeling each time you open the garage - you've bought the wrong bike!

I'm generally not big on custom bikes but feast your mince pies on this Triton & tell me that isn't a thing of beauty!
