Best Looking Bike Ever

I know there has been discussion here about the best bike ever and the most influential bike, but I,m not sure this has been discussed. If it has, forgive me.

I would like to hear what you think are the three best looking mass produced bikes ever. I mean the bikes, that when you see them it makes your pulse quicken. Which are eye candy for you?

These are my three, keeping in mind that I do have a Hayabusa which I think is one of Japan's best efforts and that I'm 55 years old.

1. Mid sixtys' 650 Triumphs especially the high pipe scrambler types.

2. Late model Ducatis as long as they're red.

3. Any year Harley Sportsters as long as they're lean, mean, clean, and a decent color.
 
1999 Blue R1
1997 - 99 Red Black GSXR 750
1989 - 91 GSXR 1100 either color for US
1981 XS11 Midnight Special
1980 - 81 1000 Kaw LTD's
also like the looks of the late model 996 Duc's but not real familair with specific years - generally the bikes are too expensive and single purposed to warrant my full attention.

All the painting and polishing I've been doing on the busa (99 Black) is also starting to show - it's really shaping up! Then add how the bike really performs and it may soon surpass my all time favorite (undisclosed - I'm not starting wars over something someone else is not going to change my mind about).
Long live the busa!
 
1) Red/Gray Busa
2) copper/silver Busa
3) black/ gray Busa
4) blue/silver Busa
5) '66 Triumph Bonnie
6)Vincent Black Shadow
7) '59 BMW with side car
8) '68 Norton Commando
9) '66 Norton Atlas
and the # 10 best looking bike of all time
1965 BSA Lightning

Falcon Fool: I see you like early Triumphs also. I've got a concours condition 1967 TR6C. Its called a "Desert Sled." Also, the bike that got me lusting after motorcycles was a 1965 BSA Lightning. A guy road by everyday on the way to work. It was candy apple red with those chrome panels on the tank. Gorgeous.

JRBusa: Your list is interesting to me. I've owned a few bikes on it {ZX11, GS1100, 750F Honda, and my first real bike was a Honda 305 Scrambler} I wish I had that scrambler now.
