What makes a bike sexy?

I've never really consideres my R1150R as a sexy bike by its looks. I've always though of it more like a motorcycle version of a jet fighter with its oil cooler intakes and pointed fender. Sort of a sleek, yet brooding, intimidating bike.

There is a sexy sound from my bike....that boxer airbox growl. A loud exhaust would just cover that great panther-like growl up.
 
You want sexy?


Do ya?



I'm talking about the kind you think about when you see a highly accessorized unit ready willing and able for action, action you can't even begin to imagine. The kind of action you would never in a million years expect from a model you might bring home to mother. Momma don't like bling.


































I got your sexy right heah:

Would some of that action include a hotel stay + dealer visit in Edmonton? :stick

Dawn Wells

Before I could afford BMW cars and motorcycles, I was a radio talk show host and interviewed many, many celebrities. Most were tedious, tiresome, self-centered -- and dim.

A notable exception was Dawn Wells. Not only was she absolutely stunning -- even more gorgeous than on TV -- she had a personality as beautiful as her looks. I literally fell in love with this woman and still have a senior edition of a crush on her.

As the interview closed she gave me a warm hug and kiss. That was thirty years ago and I haven't bathed since.

Funny - no one talks to me at bike rallies :)

and kit too?

I think lamble and JK find each other sexy.



:wow

That would indeed be a very strange and disturbing definition of "sexy".

I'd like to expand this a little. I noticed on one pic, the rider's black bike and black jacket. Then you bought up the accessories on the bike too.
Can bike cloths be sexy or are they just functional?

I know the black leather association with rebellion is obvious, but what about fabric suits?
Is there a sexy kevlar/gortex suit, or do we all just look like inflated sleeping bags?
Are helmets sexy and if so which sort and why?
Is there anticipation as a blacked out visor is lifted, or just an expectation of puffed out red checks and facial hair and grim?

Note to DVandk...you seem to have mellowed. Lane sharing is obviously good for your karma.

I think I definitely attract a few approving looks from members of the opposite sex as I walk between my parking garage and office in downtown Seattle, wearing my 'Stich and carrying my helmet.

I also think I can differentiate "approving looks" from "are you from Mars?" looks as I routinely receive the latter. If only I could reverse the ratio...
 
Hot under the collar

Last year in Alabama near Mobile and on the Extra-terrestial Highway (Nevada?), a series IV carbon helmet and blacked out visor, silver grey suit and black GS did convince a few locals they'd seen an alien. Okay I know I am an "alien" but I've a visa and other stuff.

The best was the middle of White Sands NM, I not only looked like an alien, but felt like one too.

Not sure if it was the kit or the accent, but a woman in Oklahoma told me I got her "moist" as I paid for gas. :jawdrop (Believe me, I've cleaned it up a lot, to get to moist). That's just not pleasant is it? Hospitable perhaps, but not pleasant.

She must not have been that attractive if you found her remarks as to the effect you had upon her physiological responses only "pleasant". I bet there are photos of her on a disparaging thread within "Jo Momma" on advrider.com.

NOT pleasant.Not, not, not pleasant.

Not that bad a looker if I recall. But definitely a warm, open and welcoming personality.
I'm guessing it was the accent, as I'd been riding for about 4,000 miles by then and was a mix between grimy and pungent, with helmet hair like a cheap motel hand towel and sunburned flaking nose. Pretty as a picture and obviously sexy t'boot.
My conclusion is that I was just someone different from the norm and she was fantacising that all Brits are Hugh Grant or James Bond.

She couldn't see my bike, so it wasn't that.
 
Rob,

If you're gonna insist on a RT-P, at least get one that has curves:

Ride me hard for eleven days. You know you want to.

When it comes to attracting the attention of the opposite sex, you guys with accents have an unfair advantage. I'm sure you don't view it as unfair, just as I don't think it's unfair that I get to ride my single occupancy vehicle in the high occupancy vehicle lanes :)

Travel to Europe. Then YOU can be the guy with the accent. :D
