I always thought these were among the worst.  Unlike some "ugly" things that over time may gain some charm, this thing still looks bad and always will.

I couldn't even get through the first five minutes.  Did they ever talk about motorcycles?  BORING!

I use the slider to move around to parts I might be interested in.   Podcasts in general don't hold my interest.  I usually multitask while letting them play in the background and if something catches my ear I back up a little and focus on it.

Here is the objectively correct answer.   

The most beautiful motorcycles ever made are the 2013 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone in white, and the 1996 Ducati 900SS/CR in red.  I know this from intimate personal experience as the current owner of both specimens. 







There are vastly more ugly bikes as there are beautiful ones, just as there are vastly more incorrect answers to a math problem compared to the correct answer.   

I nominate the Norton Classic as the most ugly.   I took extreme umbrage to this monstrosity when I saw one at the Barber museum in Alabama.  I think part of what bothers me is that Norton made so many beautiful bikes that this bit of homemade sin is utterly inexcusable.   You could literally stick 14 dog turds onto that Norton and it would look better.  It’s true! I know because I Photoshopped it as an experiment. 






Of course, this Ducati certainly got several prolonged beatings with the Ugly Stick. 




   


Thats justs funny right there..............   :laugh: :laugh:

Any bike I have or had would be the prettiest...  I spotted this thing about a year an a half ago when a group of riders went past my house while I was mowing my yard.  I later noticed they had been spending an awful lot of time on the side of the road, so I figured I would check it out.  Long enough story short, I loaded one of their bikes in my truck and took them across town.  I told the guy that my only payment was for him to allow me to take a pic of this thing and know that I would be showing it to my friends to make fun of it.   :laugh:  I suppose one could argue whether or not this CFMoto V3 is actually a motorcycle.  If it's anything, it's ugly!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so whatever. Only one of these bikes will let you ride worry free, and that in itself is a form of beauty. Reminds me of the old saying, "The best color for a horse is well broke".

Oh don't worry, I sold my Buells.  The 08/09 are sorta worry free, but the earlier ones require a fair amount of attention.

A guy coasted into my driveway last year on a Buell, which he really loves. He wanted to wait there until his brother showed up with the trailer. He won't get more than 30-40 miles from home and only rides when his brother is going to be available, He has spent a fortune on the bike. I cannot tell you what year bike it was. No thanks.

That Honda better be reliable, since that's the only thing it has going for it.  Considering that Honda what-ever-it-is was only produced for a couple of years at best, I suspect the Buell would be easier to get parts for.
