International Bike of the Year 2011
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.
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

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.flatlander wrote:The award for the K 1600 GT comes from an international jury representing 25 motorcycle magazines
