Best-Looking Tank in Motorcycling?

That matchless reminded me, here's my vote for best tank in the 21st century. Which was a major nod to the past.

Since a streetfighter needs to start with a good looking tank, frame, and engine...

I like he "coffin" tank on the old HD XLCR's. Unfortuneatly they were produced during the AMF years. I wish HD would reserect it. I'd post a pic, but I don't know how.
 
Any era TZ for me :teeth But I really like the H, J, K, years.

Why have not anyone posted pics of 916/748/996/998 yet ? Imho, best looking tank and best looking bike ever made.
 
I like the BMW R50/2 tank a lot

Or this is nice

Kind of hard to find a photo that does an SS100 justice, but if you get ever near one of these, it does something to you:

!930's in Deutchland saw some snazzy bikes, DKW/AUDI way ahead of their time, too.

I am biased. but you gotta love a sportbike that holds 4.8 gallons of hooligan juice...with a set of dual cans that just make your soul vibrate with power:hail

Hell, the whole bike is one of the best looking in motorcycling.

848 corse would be a close tie.

This thread is decidedly slanted in one direction, so I will refrain from participation, because honestly, I think the best looking tanks are virtually all on choppers. There are some gorgeous pieces and I don't even like that style of motorcycle.
