Some enthusiasts adamantly support and even celebrate car brands that offer no-frill models with minimal electronic aids like the Ferrari F40 and the Noble M600. Many motorcycle enthusiasts on the other hand firmly believe that one cannot experience unadulterated performance and thrilling speed sitting inside a roll cage behind the security of a crumple zone.

Bikers even go as far as to even claim that a race-tuned superbike is the only resort for those who want to be one with the machine and take on Mother Nature with perfectly calibrated power.

However, minimalism is not the technique one traditionally uses when approaching design. When it comes to styling, the notion of "a timeless design" is not just limited to icons of the past but also futuristic and modern offerings that will manage to stay relevant for decades to come and flaunt aesthetics that will transcend generation gaps.

With advancements in design technology, mainstream bike manufacturers no longer have to compromise on looks to accommodate smart aero kits and other race equipment. Here are 10 modern-day motorcycles with gorgeous designs.

10 Saroléa N60

If one was hard-pressed to find a stylish and sophisticated electric motorcycle then European bike maker Saroléa has the answer to their prayers. The N60 is made using carbon fiber bodywork and is powered by a 22 kWh lithium-ion battery which gets DC fast charging capabilities.

As its pièce de résistance the ride is sold along with a custom-made suit, helmet, and knives all of which are carefully crafted to complement the beautiful battery-powered bike. As the motorcycle industry steps into the future with electrification, offerings like Saroléa N60 give craftsmen free reins to explore their creativity.

MV Brutale 1000 Serie Oro

MV Brutale 1000 Serie Oro is the most powerful naked sportbike in production with a peak power output of 210 PS. Even with the limitations of a naked bike, MV Agusta has managed to bestow Brutale 1000 Serie Oro with one of the most attractive and muscular designs in the segment which justifies its extravagant price tag.

The Brutale shares its 998cc inline four-cylinder motor with MV Agusta’s F4 RC supersport offering. The aesthetics of the motorcycle are a modern take on the timeless café racer silhouette and the muscular styling exudes Italian flair.

8 BMW Vision DC Roadster

Other than the C Evolution scooter, BMW didn’t exactly make giant strides in the electric two-wheeler space. That all changed with the DC Roadster. As BMW moves towards electrification with its car portfolio, the brand looks to Vision DC Roadster to define the future of BMW Motorrad.

The design of the electric motorcycle continues to embody BMW Motorrad’s definitive horizontal cylinder head silhouette. Like Saroléa N60, the Bavarian Bike manufacturer will also offer a line of "Smart Gear concept” apparel that will accompany the Vision DC Roadster concept.

The Marine Turbine Technologies MTT 420 RR superbike is the latest version of the world-famous "Jet bike". It was dubbed as the fastest production motorbike at the time but with its frog-eyed front-end, MTT Y2K’s first installment wasn’t exactly the prettiest bikes of all time.

The second-generation 420 RR gets an all-new seamless design that complements the bike’s tubular aluminum frame with its fluid and curvaceous styling. The components are made out of carbon fiber and propelling the bike is a Rolls-Royce Allison gas turbine which produces 420 BHP of power and 500 lb-ft of torque.

Accelerating from a standstill to 60 MPH only takes 3.4 seconds and the electric drivetrain produces 203 BHP. The electric offering ditches a traditional frame in favor of an aluminum exoskeleton which is designed to bestow additional rigidity to the bike.

3 Aprilia 1000 RSV4 RR

With 200 BHP of peak power output, Aprilia 1000 RSV4 RR seems relatively restrained in comparison to the Brutale 1000 Serie Oro. However, at 397 lbs the new motorcycle is lighter than its predecessor and with 85 lb-ft of peak torque, 1000 RSV4 RR can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 2.7 seconds.

Aprilia might not be as popular as some of its other Italian counterparts but the 1000 RSV4 RR is one the brand’s most celebrated models thanks to a design philosophy that tries to strike a balance between form and functionality.

2 Vyrus 987 C3 4V
