Looks like a pretty sporty line up, got the Cruiser guys and the racer guys covered. If it was my only bike,  none of them would do. My "ultimate" was/is the R100RS. My tired ol' eyes haven't seen a better design yet

I feel the same about the R100RT.  Both are examples of what I think are the best looking bikes of their respective types.

Agree with the above:  Different for the sake of being different; different to attract attention; "Concept" bikes are not relatable to real riders.

I like the bikes of the mid to late 1980s: R65LS, R80ST, R100 RS, all of which are eminently usable.
