Top 10 Hottest Bikes 2011

2011 is done and 2012 is here. Biker and bike fans, here top 10 hottest bikes of 2011 as listed by Motorcycle.com.

Aprilia Tuono V4R

Yet it’s the new Tuono V4R that really gets out blood pumping. The previous version with its liter-sized V-Twin is one of our all-time favorite nakeds, with a composed chassis, edgy Italian styling, and all-day-comfy ergos.

Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200

The 750cc Shiver and Dorsoduro are very appealing in their own right, yet performance from their three-quarter-liter V-Twins have been a little underwhelming.

BMW K1600GT and GTL

The sporty-ish K16GT will replace the 4-cylinder K1300GT, and the K1600GTL becomes the luxury-touring wagen of the reputable German brand.

Ducati Diavel

Despite the cruiser analogies, those at Ducati who have ridden the Diavel say it doesn’t really share any cruiser qualities. They promise a level of handling far beyond anything with a cruiser label, including a respectable 41-degree lean angle.

Honda CB1000R

With that in mind, we’re sure to enjoy Honda’s CB1000R, even if it’s been available since 2008 across the Atlantic badged as the Hornet. Its edgy and futuristic appearance looks advanced without being too outlandish.

Honda CBR250R

It’s powered by a fuel-injected 249.4cc single-cylinder engine with double overhead cams actuating four valves. A gear-driven counterbalancer should keep it smooth up to its 10,500-rpm redline.

Kawasaki ZX-10R

Kawasaki has upped the ante in the literbike wars with the most technically advanced sportbike it’s ever created. Its traction-control system is not only highly sophisticated, it is also standard equipment and is the first high-performance TC to be fitted to a Japanese sportbike.

MV Agusta F3

It only takes a short glance at the F3 to realize it’s something special. Its chiseled styling makes for an immediately positive first impression, which is then underlined by a sexy single-sided swingarm and one of the coolest exhaust systems ever, a triple-pipe shorty outlet that is a symphony of design.

Suzuki GSX-R600 and GSX-R750

After taking a year off in 2010, American Suzuki comes out swinging with a ground-up redesign of its GSX-R600 and GSX-R750 fraternal twins.

Triumph Tiger 800 and Tiger 800 XC

The Tiger is reborn! And this time with a nearly identical twin. It's great to see Triumph update its long-running Tiger, a bike that for years had inclinations of riding rugged roads, but wasn't really ready to take on BMW in the adventure-touring segment.
