The Ducati Wierdness in at No2 is a bit of a surprise.
... and they seem to be in to variants of the same bike in their list of favourites.
Perhaps we can do the same with Falcos - rig some popularity contest and then take all the top places by separately mentioning every colour variant

I'd have to question who were eligible to vote on that poll. That looks a pretty weird selection to me; and overly influenced by the Bavarian contingent.

The award for the K 1600 GT comes from an international jury representing 25 motorcycle magazines
and another good reason to stay away from the press ... yes they talk more vajazzle than an essex girl picking out new curtains at the brazilian stiletto bar

Looking at the list of top bikes, I'm guessing that "International" in this case means "German and Italian" ..... doubt there were many Japanese represented.
