other : it's the poser not the bike.
A middle aged fat man in mix and match gear on a panigale doesn't pose nearly as well as an Asian chic on an 02 GSX-R with fully color coordinated gear that matches the bike.

I really have to agree with this. I may not know what the best posing but I do know what it isn't, Kawasaki Versys:laughing

New? The one with the RC51 motor? Didn't that guy run out of money about 10 years ago? :confused

Actually he died in a motorcycle crash about 10 years ago. He had a hard time getting funding for the bike, mainly because people hated the idea of a Japanese motor on a Vincent.

But if you had the prototype, you sure could pose on it...
 
in my opinion- ducati is not a poser bike... if you're going to spend that much money on it, you've at least got some passion for motrocycles & ability to ride. Because that torque will either scare you or break one of your legs if you don't know what you're doing - so the bike won't be around long enough to where it would make many starbucks visits.

Harleys on the other hand...
 
A blacked-out Harley works better for me. I generally avoid the chrome queens. That shit is hideous.

Any Ducati is going to garner my attention. Especially old clean Monsters and any Diavels.

People Pose on BMW's? Okay maybe the S1000RR, but not anything else. :laughing
 
It looks unanimous BMW is not a poser biker.:laughing
 
The bmw guys tend to actually ride - a lot.

Ducatis are not for posing they are for riding. :love
 
Triumph is great poser bike if you want to talk with older men. :facepalm

Anything custom and slick poses well IMHO.
 
Wait this isn't a Troll Thread?

Your poll lacks depth (hope this is the first time hearing this). How can there be no R1/R6, GSXR, Ninja option (you get the picture)?

BMW's are for people that ride and have money, hardly posing. Add the bikes above so you can get accurate results.

Absolutely!

I had just pulled into a parking spot and a guy on one of those GIANT freeway legal scooters pulled up and parked next to me and said, "Nice Bike!" and started chatting me up about how the normal bike he rides is his R1 and how it was so powerful that it wheelied everywhere and handled so well and had a GP exhaust and BMC airfilter and he just got some new tires that were ultra sticky etc etc etc... I just wanted to get in and out of the post office with my stamps...

The vapor bike is the best poser bike because you can tailor it to whatever is required at any given moment...

I kind of thought the giant scooter was more interesting... I think it was a Burgman...

Best posing bike would be something that is old, cool (subjective), and with enough modification to reflect the owners personal tastes and wants. Anything newer than 10 years just means you have a fat bank account or a nice line of credit, and like so many other people and you've decided to buy a motorcycle......whoopdeefuckingdoo.

OR- riding a bike that handles matters to you, so you'd rather not own some stone age POS- oh sorry, vintage bike- that isn't going to corner and brake worth a damn! :p
I was riding an 86 Gixxer 1100 7 years ago. There's a reason I bought my '03 6 years ago. Fat bank account/nice line of credit didn't have anything to do with it! :laughing
Now, if I did have the fat bank account, I'd have a 2012 s1000rr!! :drool

Personally, I think a lot of the hardleys are for posing... and a lot of the Ducatis. La Ducati Day seems to bring out tons of Ducs that are 5 or 6 years old with less than a couple of thousand miles on 'em... :laughing

Dude, I'm not exactly loaded and I still have the second most expensive bike they currently sell. My RT is thousands cheaper to maintain and operate than my Triumph was! :twofinger

Thank FSM for the fact that there's always going to be different strokes for different folks. I don't care what someone rides, so long as they ride.

So what? I'd do the same thing if I could. Would you thumb your nose at Leno's collection? I'm sure he has a lot of low mileage machines that are decades older than the majority of people on this board. What's wrong with that. I'm jealous as hell of that collection! :twofinger
 
And your Poll sucks!

I'd rather have a pole that gets sucked, then a poll that sucks.

Any street legal two stroke will draw a crowd. Of course, your crowd will all be men over 50 telling you how they used to own/desire one back in the day. If you want to draw a crowd of young ladies, well then you had better be a young man.

Meh. I personally have no interest in it whatsoever. Be as jelly as you want- but vintage bikes don't do anything for me... unless it's something SO vintage, it's like 100 years old... because that's a piece of history, the foundation of what we rail now. That's cool to look at- but I'd never want to ride it. Or own it. :twofinger
