Simple, yet complex, with form meeting function in the most daring way you can think of. Of course, we’re talking about motorcycles. Whether they glimmer in the sun or outrun any car on the road, they are more than just a way of transportation. For someone who enjoys attention, a cool bike is the way to get it.

Just try riding down the street and you’ll have even babies pointing out at your bike, dogs probably trying to catch you, angsty teens wishing they were you, and fathers reminiscing their youthful days when all they wore were leather jackets. Even going to the grocery store to buy some milk and cereal will make you feel like you’re in a Sons of Anarchy episode.

Although it was hard, we’ve picked 15 absolute coolest bikes that you should ride down the street. You might disagree with the list, but you won’t be able to hate a single one of them.

You can try and customize a Harley and fail at it unless you’re Robb Handcrafted Cycles who never seem to get it wrong. In their handcrafted bike, you get a '67 Harley, Ducati forks and carbon fiber, all in one! It may seem like a motorcycle fairytale, but it’s real. The Australian builder Dylan Robb knows what he’s doing and gearheads should appreciate him more.

13 Deus Grievous Angel

Deus Ex Machina decided to try their magic in a Yamaha SR400, and now we’re left with the Grievous Angel - one of the meanest two-wheel rides this world has seen. This bike has a clean minimalist look that can drive any gearhead crazy. Plenty of details, including front and rear disk brakes, AVON Speedmaster tires, and a stubby exhaust, will get you the attention you’re worthy of.

12 Norton Commando 961

A true British work of art. We couldn’t help but include it in this list. Although simple with no wild electronics, only a speedo, a tacho, a trip meter, and a clock, this bike will give you a hell of a ride. Not because it’s too fast, but because it’s a true classic, one that belongs on every road if you ask us.

11 MV Agusta F4CC

This bike will cost you more than an upper-level exec's annual salary. You’ll even ask yourself: why buy a bike for $120,000 when you can buy a luxurious Mercedes S-Class? And then you’ll give it a ride, if you’re that brave, and see that it’s worth every cent. You’ll feel cruel and sexy like the whole world is yours. It’s just how a motorcycle should be, right? We suggest hiring a bodyguard for your F4CC - it needs one more than you do.

10 Triumph Bonneville T120

The ultimate modern classic. That’s what Triumph calls their motorcycles and they aren’t wrong. The T120 has been going on for decades and owned by Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan and, of course, Steve McQueen. Today, it is one of the most recognizable and desirable motorcycles in the world. Although people don’t buy it for performance or technology, but for the looks and its character, the Bonneville will give you the exciting rush of speed when you need it.

9 Harley-Davidson WL(A)

The W stands for the Harley family tree; the L stands for the high compression engine and the A stands for the Army. Yes, this Harley Davidson was built for the U.S. Army during World War II. Don’t be afraid, riding one will make you feel victorious rather than at war. It’s a Harley - we think the discussion whether it’s worth it should end as soon as you hear the sound of its name.

8 Velocette Thruxton Venom

Velocette started competing back in 1905. By the year 1965, they had already designed a true legend - the Thruxton. Although the Thruxton was being sold to customers, rather than being strictly used for racing, the bike wasn’t created for daily driving. It can be a little difficult to handle for someone who isn’t used to motorcycles too much. However, the fact that its production stopped in 1971 makes the Thruxton a true collectible that is worth your money.

7 Ducati Streetfighter S

The power of the Streetfighter S comes from the 1098 Testastretta, which helped Ducati win all the world titles. Besides the power, there’s a lot to love about the Streetfighter S. Its jaw-dropping style might make you feel like a rebel, but then you’ll feel too comfortable to be an actual one. No Ducati ever has achieved such an aggressive look while providing you with a controllable ride.

6 BMW K1

1989 was a historic year for Germany, not only because of the fall of the Berlin Wall but also because BMW built the K1. Even after all these years, the K1 will make a statement, whether it is in your garage or on a road. Its modern fuel injection system and 16-valve engine head made it a true revolutionary motorcycle.

5 Honda CBR600F Hurricane

The one that started it all. Or at least the CBR line. This CBR600F was quick enough to compete in serious racing but friendly enough for you to enjoy riding it on the street. While some other motorcycles during the 80s were just following the rules, Honda raised the bar.

The aerodynamics, the bodywork, and every technological shift will blow any gearhead away. No other bike could come close to the CBR600F's handling or its speed. It was a true game-changer for the motorcycle industry.

4 Vincent Black Shadow

It was the fastest motorcycle of its era, and even today it can steal your heart. But good luck on finding it!

Today, it’s very hard to find a bad motorcycle. Almost every one of them has edge-cutting technology and is very reliable, to the point when it can chase any car down the street. However, the Royal Enfield Bullet is a special piece that GQ called a "time machine". It has no technology whatsoever, and today not much has changed. But if you really want no distraction, just a pure motorcycling experience, the Bullet 500 is the way to go.
