what bikes do you consider the sexiest of all time?

here are my two votes for the all-time sexiest bikes, in order

Specialized S-Works FSR DH (i had this bike...wish i still did).


Yeti 303 25th Anniversary Edition (DROOL!)

Agreed on the S-Works dh. I had one and it was a large. I think I was 5'4" when I tried to ride that thing... didn't work out so well.

I also think highly of the 02 M1 bikes, especially the team red ones with original Dorados that I remember Kovarik looking so damn awesome shredding.

While I agree Specialized S-Works FSR DH was sweet the limited run Specialized S-Works Dual Slalom in same paint and sticker scheme took it to an entire new sexy level. The sticker graphics were not broken apart as much by the welds and the frame lacked the peekaboo hole. I begged the buddy of mine who got me into downhill to sell his to me. Had it for a year and could not have dreamed for a better rig. Then some jackass stole it from me. =( I would give anything to have that bike back. I would even pay the old sticker price for it today. That bike just rode so well and looked so good. Sighhh....

I love both of those old FSR's, Intense and Specialized. I personally think the Intense is a tougher looking bike but when that S-works landed it looked like it was from the future!

The v-10 is a beautiful rig too, especially in the red/silver above or in the red/white/black leafy design of the Rennie era.

I think that the M9 is a pretty damn sexy bike too... Here is a pic of mine...





The new demo 8 also has much merit as far as aesthetics and design go.

Here is another one for us all to consider,

There are not many bikes as pretty as this. Like XC or not, there is no denying that this bike is stunning, 29'er or not...

I've never wanted a bike so bad. Both were equally rad at the time of their release, and both absolutely crushed everybody else. 8 sec at Kaprun, 6 seconds at Pila, and Champery, of course. This bike made shit happen.

I've always though Intense 951's look amazing.

Love my bike, so I'm posting it. Soon to be Matte black though.

Also V10 above, Yeti, and new Demo's are killer as well! To many to name all of them though

Wow a friend of mine had one of those for years. Back from like 99 or 98. Rode it till about 2 years ago when the spring snapped!
