Best and worst (non-BMW) bike introduced in 2006?

[1150929]

Since we are all biased towards BMW, what is the best and worst bikes introduced or significantly revised in '06 from other manufacturers?


Best? I'd vote for the new FZ1, for bringing a complete package (alloy frame, top shelf engine & suspension & brakes) to the affordable zone. Goodbye Suzuki Bandits!! First tempting bike since I bought my R.

Honourable best mention; Paul Smart Ducatis, Buell Ulysses


Worst? FJR1300. Who was asking for a semi-automatic anyway?

Honourable worst mention; Any Victory cruiser with a 250 section rear tire. Why slow turning response on any bike?

This gets my vote for one of the best...maybe not introduced in 06...but an 06 model..will that do...btw..saw a nice white one in the city today.



and this gets my vote for one of the worst...actualy it's a tie between these two..(why bother when you can buy a GS.. )..full points for trying.

Ducati Paul Smart LE is a whole heap of sexy.

I don't know if it is the best or not but I would sure like to have one in the garage just for messing around on,. Ninja 650R Den
