Cool.

I don't know much about these bikes, but I've always liked them.
 
Not the same thing as sueprcars.

Supercars are typically poseurs only, because they cost more than a house.

Superbikes cost less than many cars. They're often bought by people who actually want to... you know... ride.
 
Generally speaking, bikes in general are automatically cool in my book. This one here is no exception.
 
It looks great, but my definition of a Sub Zero bike would be something of a more.. umm.. American sort.
 
I know nothing about bikes. That one looks cool like a branded stormtrooper, but it's still a bike. Meh.
 
"Homologation special" from the eighties and coincidentally the first bike I ever rode.

The engine alone is a masterpiece who is quite receptive to tuning (~130 hp in the one I rode).

Sub Zero for me.

I can't think of one American bike from that era that would even come close to that little sewing machine. Perhaps a Buell, but I doubt it.

That almost, almost, makes me want to change my vote to cool.
 
I like bikes but I know very little about them. This one looks very pretty, and very unique. Definitely in SZ territory here.
