I'm not a fan of BMW's.  Too much money and number 1 in problems from what I've read.  I didn't say no. 1 in recalls as I've heard that it takes a lot of complaints to get BMW's attention.

Have I heard wrong?

While the other nine may be great bikes the only one that appeals to me is the Honda CB1100.

Gotta agree on at least one, the ZX14 is totally awesome.  If you are looking to break 200 MPH cheap, you can do it on this one.  Had mine to 180 once and it was still pulling strong.  It has a Speedo Healer to correct for sprocket change so am sure the readout was very close.  Thing also handles the twisties  super too.

I think this article is biased towards BMW and BMW is a major sponsor as is usually the case.  Show me the money and reap the rewards in the articles.

Maybe I missed it, but was there a top 10 for say under 500cc's for a fuel efficient commuter?

Not much for the Honda fury myself, just a bar hopper in my opinion. But a couple years after they started building them they came out with the custom series. I kind of liked the interstate model with the windshield, floorboards, hard cases, and a much beefier front tire.

My comments towards Cycle World's Ten Best is the same as it was concerning Cycle World's Ten Worst.    They have an opinion and that's fine.    If's not necessarily mine.    Although I do agree that a sponsor's influence might sway the writer's and editor's choices.     Were there any BMWs in the Ten Worst?    I honestly don't recall.

Then again some would say ; the Bike is only as good as the Owner / Rider !  I know, I know !

As usual, your words have wisdom behind them.    Of course, an opinion is just that, an opinion.
