Here are the results of mahbx.com's poll asking which MotoGP bike of the four-stroke era you ♍would choose to ride, if given the chance to try just one.

Two bikes stood head-and-shoulders above the rest in terms of capturing your soul: The triple title-winning V5-powered 990cc RC211V headed the list with 31.1% of the vote, followed closely by the multi-race-winning🐬 990cc Ducati Desmosedici on 29.5%.

The 990cc Yamaha M1, which Valentino Rossi w♛on the world championship with in 2004 and 2005, was only third bes💫t (16.6%), although Yamaha can claim to have built the most desirable of the 800cc bikes.

But thꩲe 800cc M1, in fourth place, only gained 7.2% of the vote, sending a clear signal that the smaller machines just haven't had the same 'wow' factor for fans.

To underline that point, no manufacturer received more votes f🐷or their 800 t🧸han their 990.
