The September 2005 issue of Bike magazine (from England) is one of my all-time favorite magazines.
They included a Remove the Emotion list for their top 20 bikes for cornering,
separate from their best 50 cornering bikes of all time that included older bikes like the 1956 BSA Gold Star in 4th place and the 1940s Indian 101 Scout in 12th place.
These are their 20 best cornering bikes in 2005, without emotion added. They said they argued for many hours to come up with this list, including riding some of the bikes again to refresh their fast cornering memories:
1. Ducati 999R
2. Buell XB12R Firebolt
3. Ducati 916
4. Ducati 749R
5. Aprilia RSV-R
6. Suzuki GSX-R1000 K5
7. MV 1000 F4S
8. Kawasaki ZX-10R
9. Ducati 999
10. Triumph Daytona 650
11. KTM Super Duke
12. Benelli Tornado
13. Yamaha YZF-R1
14. Suzuki GSX-R750 K5
15. Buell XB12S Lightning
16. Aprilia RS125
17. Aprilia RS250
18. Ducati 749
19. Kawasaki ZX-6R
20. Yamaha YZF-R6
