Our BMW S1000RR gallery was a bit scarce, so here’s a few more shots to keep us happy. The S1000RR is definitely on our best bikes list for 2010 which is big achievement for the first BMW superbike, although not entirely surprising. We would have expected BMW to build something worthy of the brand, and that’s exactly what they’ve done.

MCN has already voted the BMW S1000RR the best sports bike for 2010, beating such illustrious rivals as the Yamaha R1. If you want an even sexier version of the S1000RR, try it in carbon fibre with an Akrapovic exhaust. Definitely a bike to “pick up chicks”. See more of it in this new gallery.

With a revamped website for 2010, Ducati has burst into the new year with its new Multistrada model, which has already created plenty of talk since it was first seen live at the EICMA show in November. We’re putting it on our best bikes for 2010 list, even if it’s not quite a stunning superbike model.

The Ducati Multistrada won best bike at the EICMA show, and whether due to the strength of the local market presence or not, for an Italian bike, Italy is always a good place to start. I’m still not quite convinced by the four-bikes-in-one philosophy, but then I haven’t ridden the Multistrada and so can’t say whether this design will work or not.

Whether switching the various mapping modes of Sport, Touring, Urban and Enduro, will meet their various purposes to the full, we can’t deny the Testastretta 1198 cc engine or its four-valve technology. Ducati has thrown a lot at its new Multistrada, and it’s provided a new element in the mix of bikes available for 2010, that has grabbed our attention more than the new MV Agusta F4, or the BMW S1000RR. Would it be on your list or not?

It’s seems pertinent to examine the 2010 motorcycles on offer, now we’re into the new year. We saw some impressive bikes presented in 2009, with everything from the MV Agusta F4, the Ducati Multistrada, the BMW S1000RR, and the Aprilia RSV4 R. We figure these bikes will also go on our list of “bikes to pick up chicks”, but more on that later.

The MV Agusta F4 for 2010 is a revision of what is considered a top-end, classic sport bike/superbike model. The brand saw its revival with this very model back in 1998, and it was designed by Massimo Tamburini, the name behind the original Ducati 916. While some have questioned the specs of the new F4, there is no denying its spot in the hearts of MV Agusta fans, and those who love superbike looks and performance.

The MV Agusta F4 is one of only a few superbikes to have a radial valve engine, and is famous for its four pipe exhaust, single-sided swingarm and, of course, its classic MV Agusta livery. The consensus seems to be that the new 2010 F4, whether revolutionary or not, is still built along the same technological principles of the original, with the same hot looks. It has 186 hp, with a new 998 cc engine, and is ten kilos lighter, according to the company. It’s definitely on our list of the best bikes for 2010, if you’re in the market for a new model and can spend some money.
