I concur. When you sit on them, they beg to be flogged and have at least 12 tanks of gas put through them on every ride =)
On the right days, the Superhawk can beg, but your **** will say no =p
On the other hand, the new speed triples look like an elephants **** and would not take one if given to me.

Yea. i bought my SH in 99 and still have her, but i got hungry for a KTM v-twin a couple of summers ago and bought this bike. Pic is a little old, since then i removed the high mount front fender and installed a low over the tire Carbon Fiber fender.
Bike is a blast to ride

Maybe this doesn't count since it's not completely stock, but the Ducati Sport 1000 with a few mods is my lust at the moment. I saw one similar to this parked in a parking lot a few weeks ago, except the one I saw had dual shorty megaphone exhausts, one on each side. It had Ohlins on front and rear, and radial brembos. And of course it was red, like all bikes should be.

My old solid black '78 CX500 (modded for canyon racing, not your generic CX) was more than once mistaken for a Guzzi, 25 to 30 years ago, even though it said HONDA on the tank.
I've always liked the looks and sound of a Moto Guzzi sport bike.

Yup, the new monsters are mighty sexy. I've been lusting over this pic for sometime. My previous lust was for a black Sport Classic like the one evines posted... beautiful. Too bad Ducati insists on having dry clutches and glitchy electronics.

I am just loving vintage right now. I like that it is something that not every tom, dick and harry can get their paws on. If it can be reproduced tomorrow, it is hard for me to put value in it. Maybe when all these new bikes are old I can appreciate them more.

I know there are some seasoned (read, old) gents on here that know what I am feeling. My HS students, all but for a few, would walk right past any of the bikes I posted to look at a gsxr 600. Someone has to keep training these kids as to what is actually cool.
