Notes: Completely unexpected amazing results for URAL on the Cool Wall. Tough, versatile, Russian built, like a tractor* (* with the same pros/cons). Riders would like it to be faster than recommended 70mph, but after riding one, I'm not sure I'd want to go faster than 70! LOL.

= a Coolwall Factor of 85.3%

Notes: Moto Guzzi hits a home run with the Audace muscle cruiser! Our readers were very happy with not a fail vote in site (and 97% of the vote was cool or awesome). It is rare that a cruiser ranks this high and appeals to so many, cruisers like sportbikes are a niche market. The only other cruiser to ever be voted this high was the 2015 Indian Scout which edged ahead by a hair (+0.1% higher vote)! If you are in the cruiser market either of these models would be an outstanding choice.

= a Coolwall Factor of 67.9%

Notes: A cool bike marred by a small detail. It's a shame that Yamaha went to so much effort to create a Café Racer variant of the Bolt that a simple square LCD gauge in a round display usurps the design flow. Other than this it looks good, rides well but it's ergo's are not for everyone. Overall, it seems 68% Cool is a very fitting result.

Your Coolness Factor of the 2016 Husqvarna FE501S Dual Sport is:

Uncool (1 point) 0% [ 0 ]

= a Coolwall Factor of 80.4%

Notes: It's fortunate (or unfortunate) that Husqvarna's are quite an overlooked company. Husqvarna is Sweden's Harley-Davidson of the dirt, an a huge success story on the track. The FE501S brings everything Husqvarna knows about dirt to the street, with a super light weight bike, high-powered engine, it would be a real blast to ride and a true dual sport both on and off the road!

Notes: While you can make a bike that looks good in person and on paper, sometimes you can't explain why it's dreadfully not popular. Maybe it's the premium price that needs to come down?

Your Coolness Factor of the 2010 Roehr 1250sc is:

= a Coolwall Factor of 70.2%

Notes: Roehr stood up and said to the work ""I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" and made his own way in the jungle; following the path forged by others like Erik Buell. The path of resistance isn't easy without market support, but there is a time and place for everything. After all, way back in the 90s, Apple was a fringe company that few even wanted to own (anyone remember the Crapple 2E?)

= a Coolwall Factor of 70.2%

Notes: Harley-Davidson produces (and has produced) some of the most desirable rides on the planet. Did the get the new Road Glide right? A 59% Cool rating, which isn't bad is awful for any bike is for the big H-D. Surly at this price point with the full weight of the biggest R&D on the planet Harley-Davidson could make it at 80%... That said, it's a big ol' road burner and one that will eat up the miles without any effort. But there maybe better choices on the market...

Notes: One of the few adventure bikes that didn't get hit with the ugly stick! Priced well, reliable, dependable, powerful and relatively light in weight, we might just have a winner here and our readers think so too! As one of our moderators said: "it's got some noise issues...once the bike is warm the noise goes away".

Notes: Growing pains. If your the type who loves to jump on the technology bandwagon and must have the latest, newest gadget then you won't mind the $20k price to go 57 miles. But remember it's at least a 3.5 hour wait at the Starbucks while you recharge both you and the bike. That said, Victory is the first major manufacturer to jump into the electric bike arena with a full on production bike (thanks to their purchase of Brammo) and the door to the future of motorcycling is now open...
