Title: The UGLIEST Motorcycle from every manufacturer
Post by: Tom on November 02, 2022, 01:53:25 PM
FYI, there are some ugly ones on this opinion list.  The Aprilia, I'd disagree with.

I find the Aprilia 6/5 is a beautiful design, and the Triumph Trophy is very handsome. 

He did pick the Suzuki Madura which I think is the all time ugliest bike.

While great clickbait (yeah, I did it too!), these lists are ultimately pointless.
One's beauty is another's beast.

e.g. I for one would put the V100 on that list and many would disagree.

Cheers,

I remember once asking a BOSS HOSS rider, at 1100+ pounds, how his bike handled in the twisties.... :rolleyes: :shocked: :huh:  There was a long pause...a stink-eye glance....and then, silence... :laugh: :grin: :wink:

The surprising thing about the bike is that it's not that hard to ride.  Lots of rider input for counter steering.   Straights and slight turns, okay but definitely no mtn. roads.  :shocked:  Vacuum boost for the brakes.   :boozing: One speed.  Easy to get off the kick stand.  I was on the 350ci, the sales guy said if you're interested we have the larger engine too.  502ci, I told him that I didn't need to tow boats or a rv trailer.   :grin: :grin: :grin:

It was like riding a whale vs a dolphin.   :grin:

BMW R1200ST. Every 1100RS owner I knew was waiting for a replacement 1200 model that looked as good as the 1100 did. BMW produced the hideous ST. It didn’t last long. Still, they did eventually make the R1200/1250RS.

of the numerous errors bmw made for the 2005 model year, the 1200st had to be one of the worst.  in bmw land, the entire redesigned 2005 lineup was a controversial topic.  functionally, bmw made some major improvements that year on the engineering side. most would argue that the new series of 1200 engines were a big improvement from the old 1150 series.  also, the rt got standard cruise control.  however, i was in the camp that really liked the styling of the older series, basically curves.  the 2005 bikes were all angles.  while the rt was tolerable, that ST was from an alien planet to my eyes, those stacked headlights remind me of the old Edsel grill.  the other sin they committed was raising the prices of all models by 20% that year.  in addition, corporate had dictated that dealers take much larger spaces and make the stores look like the big harley stores of the time. all of this combined to drive our local dealer out of business in about 6 months.  they just weren't selling any new bikes.

The first Amazonas’s didn’t look quite as bad as that, and could have been a viable choice. They use a VW engine and transmission. The attractive attribute is that you can get VW parts anywhere in the world. The bad is that it’s big and rank. But that is far beyond ugly…I had no idea the engineers had started eating ‘shrooms

Yep.. :popcorn:
I reckon Pablo Escobar would look just right on that red thing.
As for the Honda Prune…..? (well it has the same effect as eating prunes…)
I reckon some soft cored rock musician…That lead singer from Coldplay comes to mind, or Bryan Adams… :popcorn:

Rarely does using a car engine result in a good looking motorcycle. Take the BFG 1300 for instance...
