Are you gonna let Honda beat KTM? That is horrible  

[Baz]

I voted BMW just beacuse they have lots of new and very nicely engineered bikes. (Probably the newest full lineup)

[napareg]

I Voted BMW for keeping with something that works the boxer engine pure and simple.

[BlueRidgeKat]

Triumph without doubt. Kawasaki 2nd.

When Triumph comes out with the new Trophy they will take the final step to the top over all makes.

The day is coming that people will say "does Honda still make motorcycles?" They have shown the last few years they dont give a shit, then they came out with the new VFR that shows they dont have a clue. Now they have a new 250 but it has no chance to compete with the Ninja 250 because of the price tag. Big Red is fading fast.

Sue Waee Son. Fecking brilliant and only $100 for two.

I voted for Kawi, because of what they did to the Concours. They listened to the people and made the bike better. Also, the Ninja 1000 not only looks sweet it is down right comfortable.  

[Thunderbox]

Kraft. They make a bitchin Peanut butter.

Multistrada. need i say more? ride it if you have a spare 20k. i dare you.

BMW, no question about it. They've been on a roll the last couple of years starting with the K13's, then the revised DOHC Boxer, the S1000RR, and now their inline 6's.

First vote for KTM...  They are a relatively new player in the streetbike market and I like what they are doing.  Triumph was second on my list.

Japanese brands- lets see, anyone can build a concours or an ST 1300 or an FJR 1300- oh yeah, they all do, build the same bike. Honest answer, I own 2 Kawis. The Jap bikes do what they are designed to do better than any other, with a great deal more economy and a great deal more reliability, with a great deal more dealer and service support.
Can I say OMG Boring!! They feel like a very fast sewing machine, or a 70's caddy, or, well just no personality.
However, if functionality and practicality are yours, then there is NO other reasonable choice.
The adventure bikes ( those really really ugly ones) just not my personal taste.
So, were into the European sport tourers.
Duc doesn't make one. They are also pretty unreliable.
The new BMW 1600's- dang, they made a better Jap bike than the Japanese.
Triumph, honest answer, for a combination of can do and soul, it be right up there among the top two.
Aprilla- doesn't make one.
(please note, the duc and aprilla make adventure bikes and I cannot count them sport tourers because they are just too ugly to be considered motorcycles, which are of course first and foremost, works of art. Secondly, the do not make a sport bike with all day ergos and luggage).

Well, that just leaves the old boxer beemers and the Moto Guzzi.
I am coming really close to putting Triumph in this box too to be honest.
For me, Guzzi. (I own 3) Just more visceral apeal and soul than any other ever.

[Bama67]

I agree with several others, right now it has to KAWASAKI.

The most complete line-up, and all of the bikes are good, and alot are class favorites.
C-14, Versys, ZX10R, KLR650, Ninja 1000, ER6n, Z1000, ZX-14, etc. even their baggers are nice (if you're into that kinda thing)  

My new Ninja 1000 is easily my most favorite bike I have owned, and for the price point it can't be beat. I understand why it won MOTY.

Although I still have a raging hard-on for Guzzis and would kill to have a Griso 8V SE.
