Ten Best Bikes 2007

Good job, bike-makers of the world! How’s this for parity? Of the Ten Best spots open to 500 or so individual motorcycle models available for sale in the U.S. this year, seven manufacturers from six different countries are represented. And the ones that didn’t make the cut were oh, so close. Bottom line? In the richest feast of moto-offerings ever, there’s an individual Best Bike out there for everyone. What follows are the Best of the Best, the 10 machines that have risen to the top of their categories. Some are old favorites, some are all-new, some have been treated to thorough revision. All are great motorcycles, the Ten Best of 2007.
