In addition to looks (show), the 915 has more "go" in the power, handling and braking departments.

I am guessing the 915 based strictly on the comments, but who knows.  I am just honored to have both my bikes up for consideration love this site and the people who frequent it. 8)

Thanks to all who took the time to vote this unusual month!  It was an honor to have both my bikes up against one another this time around.  Sorry to Ed, who initially nominated "the Turd" because U had a feeling the 915 would walk away with the honors, black rims and all...

I hope in 6 months time "the Turd" will once again get its turn. ;)

No worries Tige, my bias towards the early Ks doesn't make your 915 any less awesome, its an awe inspiring build on its own.

Who knows, the GT might run against Project Ice Cream if I can get it on the road within 6 months ;)

I'm a 'turd guy', that bike is gorgeous. Great job on both builds, they are spectacular. Too bad you had to compete with yourself, both bikes deserve the recognition!

Both bikes, as mentioned many times, are worthy of the acknowledgment.  Both are perfect for what they are with both their visions carried out to a "T".  Personally (and maybe a bit selfishly,, ;D) I have to go with the F.  I'm really proud to've had a hand in that one..

Hated to see the red one go, Tige.  Hope it went to a good home.
