Worst looking bike ever

[limbimtimwim]

The Honda PS250.

Wonderful in diarrhea beige.

Please add your own pictures if you feel this is not the worst looking bike of all time.

[James Deuce]

That's cool! All it needs is rocket launchers and a small caliber LMG of some sort.

[Eurodave]

My 2nd place vote would have to go to Bimota's Placenta.....oops sorry........Mantra:crazy:

[Swoop]

PoS250. From front on it looks like a demented snail....

Can see some poof designer congratulating himself for doing another "fabulous" (pronounced with HUGE lisp) job... sweetie.
:slap: :ar15: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[LXS]

1984 Honda CN250 Fusion

[Badcat]

That's cool! All it needs is rocket launchers and a small caliber LMG of some sort.

i really like it!
i'd own that.
would be better in olive drab military green though.

(well - i owned a vanvan and loved it)....

but that one has a face you wouldn't get sick of kicking.

[Brian d marge]

The fusion , and the biege scooter ( was originally called a zoomer 50 cc) are quite popular
I was cutting down the screens on fusions as per shinjuku fashion ,,a couple of years back.
but yes proof that the factories have NO idea what the public want ,,,

My personal opinion is that Honda America is driving, profits for Honda ....and to be honest ,,I hope the chinese factorys make a dent ,,in the pride of Honda ,,,to wake th dozy buggers up ...

Why haven't the suzuki haters posted any 05 gsxr yet :P?

[skidMark]

dunno wat it is but it's ugly i think the designer only had a ruler and maybe had slight parkinsons or something so couldn't draw curves?....

[T.W.R]

think this takes the cake : the Quasar feet forward fully cowled motorcycle.:sick:
British police used them in the early 80s, had a Reliant engine :doh: and apparently good for 100mph :lol:

[The_Dover]

I was gonna suggest the new Kawasaki ZX-10R as personally I think it's a hideous, bloated, swampdonkey or a machine. Nothing to do with my Suzuki ownership, I quite like the look of the old 10 and the 636 (and some of the riders are pretty hot, eh Maurice ;)) but the new one is fugly with a chubby face, fat arse and none too impressive rack.

[skidMark]

thats it time to bring out the ultimate ugliest most useless thing on the planet (and for male hairdressers i must add...)

(alot like paris hiltons dog also an ugly fashion accesory....)

[skidMark]

children point and cry and yell mummy help theres a monster coming down the street

thats not a monster honey it's a c1

it's a monster kill it killll it.

:done:

MA

[What?]

Struth, there's loads uglier than anything mentioned here thus far.
Morbidelli V8 and Velocette LE spring to mind...

[Badcat]

yep - i'm right with you on that.
ewwwwwwwww.

you called, petal? No wonder you were begging for a "ride" the other day. But you do know in our line of work there is no such thing as a free ride eh? :moon: :yeah: :buggerd: :blip:

By the way, my vote for ugliest bike is the Numptystrada:

[James Deuce]

I knew you had perfect taste, your worshipful palindrome-ness.

Multistrada riders don't wave either.

yep - the multistrada is one sad little man.
funny thing is you can see most of those cues on the supermotard concept and they are - - - s e x y - - - .
it's just that godawful fairing, that gets worse when you see it in the flesh splitting with the steering.
when the italians get it wrong, they don't fuck around.

[James Deuce]

True that. Look at Abyssinia.

K,

Don't start me on the HypoglycaemicRetard (tm) big fella. The end of the Tamburini era was a downhill ride for Duc.

Not to defend Italians per se, but that Terblanche has a lot to answer for: 749/999, the Numpty and now the HypoRetard. Not sure if the current 800/1000SS air cooled fuglies can be attributed to (chiefly) his pen...

[Mr Skid]

22815 22816

:2thumbsup

[NhuanH]

:nono:

:2thumbsup
I rest my case.
Both of them look ready to crash and destroy their Numpty's - to remove them from boik gene pool.

pierre terblanche did some grea things for ducati.

http://www.ducati.com/heritage/anni90/supermono/supermono.jhtml

there's a lot of styling cues in that bike that came out in much later bikes.
maybe even ones you like Nhuan....

[T.W.R]

Struth, there's loads uglier than anything mentioned here thus far.
Morbidelli V8 and Velocette LE spring to mind...

the Morbidelli V8 is very similar to a St4 Ducati don't think anyone would class that as ugly, maybe you were thinking of the Guedon V8

The Morbidelli prototype was designed by the legendary Pininfarina people but was so ugly it was redesigned B4 being offered for sale!!
Heres a pic of the original version,nice engine, shame about the bike!!

[Fatjim]

I think some of the suzukis of the past (the gsx750 is still going) are butt ugly. Apologies to those who own an sv650, They are a great bike, just fugly.

thats what happens when you let car designers loose with motorcycles:oi-grr:

that one is the Mk1 model which wasn't just a prototype it went on sale to the public, $55000aus brought it.

heres a couple of prototypes that are fairly butch though;
Yamaha Morpho
Suzuki Falcorustyco
Honda Mantis

[Kickaha]

My 2nd place vote would have to go to Bimota's Placenta.....oops sorry........Mantra:crazy:

Saw one in real life a few weeks ago I had to get the guys to find me a bucket to throw up in, I think Bimota looked at the Nzeta for styling ideas

No - I was thinking Morbid Elli. Didn't know it had a redesign, though (after seeing the prototype pic's, I was too bloody scared to look again!)
I forgot the Numptystrada. Believe me, it ain't easy to forget that!!!:sick:

If it wasn't for the fairing around the headlights, I reckon that is one nice bike.

This is a Honda Beat. My girlfriend and I bought one new back in 1988.
It had a redline of 11,000rpm and when doing 60km/h (top speed) used to sit on 12,000rpm !!!! The sound of the poor engine screaming was something you had to get used too.

Also had a pedal for giving more power called a VTAC, sort of like a manual power valve.

They regularily broke cranks (ours did after 4 months) and had a lot of warranty claims.
Real hard case thing to ride, but not one of Honda's better efforts.

[Sniper]

I vote the Honda cub.....

[Coyote]

bmw r1200cl

Why are there no caps all of a sudden?

[kro]

That looks like a silver version of the old Kawasakis that the dudes on CHiPs used to ride. Eric Estrada ftw.

[inlinefour]

But even the wesite I got the pic from calls it a concept cage, err car. I think this is bloody awefull. The Dodge Tomahawk.:buggerd:

[Scouse]

limbimtimwimThe Honda PS250.

I hate to admit it but Kawasaki have fucked up and now have the worlds ugliest bike Im talkin about the new ZX14 what an uglie peice of puke

[Wolf]

I want one!


I'm a forgetful fucker most the time and it would be reassuring to know that if I accidentally left my keys in the ignition, the - er - bike will still be where I left it when I got back...

I found the article - Chrysler called it a "rolling sculpture"

[thehollowmen]

can I wind scumdog up pleeease *cute puppy eyes* pleeeeAAAAAASSEE

I vote the Harley Davidson Topper Scooter is more ugly than that.
It had a 165cc DKW gas motor, and went 40 mph and had no frount brake.
:Pokey:

[Biff]

The Dodge Tomahawk.

I know Dodge say it's a bike - but the freakin thing has 4 wheels FFS!

[Sniper]

It also has a V10.

[Mr. Peanut]

Zx12r was so sexy, how could they get it this wrong?? :eyepoke:

Looks like it wants to eat it's front wheel, and what did the use as a mould for those upper fairings? Kermits face? :sick:

Oh well 200hp should make a good street fighter, anybody wanna crash one for me? :devil2:

[Biff]

It also has a V10.

Ok it's a bike. But let's just tell everyone it has 2 wheels mmmmmmkay ?

[ducatilover]

I really like it.

But then I ride an RF900, so my taste obviously is a bit off.

The fairing looks like it does because wind tunnel tests show that's what you need to go over 320km/hr.

[MacD]

I like the look of my RF! The designers were just ahead of their time! ;)

Maybe that's why I like the Sprint?

[Posh Tourer :P]

That RF looks like a Sprint that has sagged......

Its like saying your grandma is still a hot sex object, even though she's lost her youthfulness

PS 250 aka super zoomer! was released in states only I think. It was designed to capitaise on the success of the 50cc 4stroke Honda zoomer ( 2003 - current ) and failed miserably - you can see why. I have one of the seven 50cc Zoomers in NZ and it rules! boo ya!

[trumpy]

This has to be in the running.................

thats what I love about the internet.

A conversation can have a two and a half break, some pulls it out of the archives - and it just carries on as if nothing happened.

You have to be kidding.......the thing looked even worse in the flesh....(mind you, this is coming from someone who has owned an Isetta bubble car, several Citroens and rides a Speed Four....)

I'd be tempted to add that one to the contestants:

i'd own that.
would be better in olive drab military green though.

(well - i owned a vanvan and loved it)....

k

Actually......

There is some plonker on TradeMe who has a military olive-green one for sale. Can't find it now, but I think it was about $9k...

They are definitely different, and you would stand out from the crowd.... I can't keep a serious face on for this one. Honda dropped the ball on this one...

looks like a x between a 1955 moped & 1972 Honda step-thru & boy it sure is ugly, just as well it can't realy be classed as an real M/C

[Shadows]

These two are right up there with the worst of them...

Not because the entire bike is hideous, but because of the forward facing underslung exhaust pipe. WTF?!?!

IMHO a trully hienous beast

[disenfranchised]

I reckon that's your winner right there.
Looks like somone put a bathtub upside down over some wheels....and then tried to make it look like snoopy.

I didn't mind the original Honda scooter that started all this.
It reminds me of the Honda Ruckus....which back before I got a bike and thought I might get a scooter was my top pick (mostly cause it looked rugged and lightweight)

I'd also vote for the Confederate Wraith (2nd image)

A mate's father owned one of those - 350cc. He always used to tell us lads our motorcycles were "dangerous" - because they were motorcycles, not scooters.

The big laugh was: we had 125cc motorbikes...

Yep they're ugly. But they are also quite rare and getting more valuable. They are a unique(!) part of NZ's rich motoring history. If anyone would like to invest in one of these scooters of Historical Significance, send me a PM and I'll happily share the details of our little stash of Nzeta and Czeta stuff.

Bear in mind the fabulous uses these amazing scooters can be put to. Make a BBQ out of one, or a garden feature or an excellent basis for a creative metal sculpture. Or you could even ride one.
