worlds most ugly bike

[magnum]

what do ya think?gn250 :whistle:

[vifferman]

The Firestorm

[scroter]

ugliest bike:
toss up GN250 or Firestorm 3place ZX6R oops :doobey:

[Motoracer]

There is no such thing (ugliest bike). GN's are cool :cool:

[bungbung]

How about some of the more extreme choppers?

[Two Smoker]

It would have to be the Honda CT110........ Or the Ducati 1000DS man thats ugly, oh and the Suzuki GS1200SS....... its ironic that Ducati make the best looking bikes, and the ugliest.....

[Ghost Lemur]

Any of those stupid concept bikes they keep coming out with. Then cruisers, more power to anyone who likes them, just not my taste.

[FROSTY]

I would have said the volty but then again Ive seen some really ugly old bikes in my time

[James Deuce]

It's all subjective.It's all subjective.

[vifferman]

Those Suzuki 150s really scare me, with their scary bicycle tyres, and the 2-smoke ones make a scary sound. One went past me the other day when I was in the car, and the sound and sight of it nearly made me piss my pants. Luckily my wife was in the car with me, and she made it all right. Whew!

Must have been me since mine has no baffling hehehe

[vifferman]

No, I've changed my mind. I used to have an XBR250RS Mutant (CB250RS with XR500 motor). That was one ugly mofo, especially with it's crackle-finish paint job...

[White trash]

Anything with a Yellow and Purple paint job. Now that's just gay!

No wasn't me, but if you see me flying along South Eastern Highway.... (got to love those high speed s bend......)

[k14]

I would have to say 04 R1. It just looks wrong I reckon. The exhaust is visible from the back and the front just doesn't do it for me.

[toads]

awww come on you guys, you've gotta be joking there's nothing wrong with the look of the gn, the ugliest bike ever made has to be the honda qt 50, that's hideous!, No doubt about it and yes it is a scooter/moped thing but still qualifies as a bike.

[Motoracer]

Go wash your mouth with soap!!! :shit:

what about the bmw k1 thingy :thud: fugly

hey one day ill slow down for ya and youll get to see more than my back end :yes:

Thought that would get some good reactions, but that is what I honestly think.

[Bandito]

Gotta be the original CBR 1000 the epitimy of a soul-less motorcle!

[RiderInBlack]

The Boss Hog:second:with the butt ugly fan in the front, which beats the Suzuki GS 1200:third: with Mr Potatoe Head at front and it's cut of ass) in ugly bike points as the GS 1200 just needs a change of farrings (which would be a lot more affordible concidering their price differences) to be a really descent bike.
But 1st prize:first:would have to go to Chrisler (fu*ken spelling, you know the Yank Car W*nks) for they concept "Bike". A square box with duel Front and Rear wheels (you could argue that it was just one of their car that had got trapped in a car compactor):puke:

Not sure but I bet it would have BMW written on it.
That cruiser thing they made must be very close. :sick:

Now who was it that told me BMW owners don't modify their bikes ?

This ugly enough?

[SPman]

The Honda Rune, could best be described as "interesting". in an Isambard Brunel sort of way!

[marty]

here's my pick...

duke paso 750 (too much plastic!)
bmw 1200c
bmw k1 blue and yellow
early v-max's
suzi gs1200 (current model)

[Kickaha]

The original Suzuki intruder

[dangerous]

the Suzuki GS1200SS......

And you others that voted for the SS..... I thought the same when I first saw one but all they need is a little dressing up like this one of a mates and they aint to bad

Actually I reckon the corona colours are pretty cool. As for the ugliest bike, well my vote goes to Shaynes old BMW independant.

I know some nice people that own them but damm they got hit hard with the ugly stick !!

Even my cage crazy brother thought they look "suspect".

[jrandom]

In no particular order:

- CX500. The original horrible boxy thing sitting on two horrible round things.

- Multistrada, yes. It's too fugly and strange.

- Fat Boy. It looks like a giant polished poo.

- Any of the Bandit S half-fairings.

- CBR1000F and GSX1100 (sorry RIB and BD). Sheds they are.

I *like* the GS1200. Meh. And I like the 650CS. Double meh.

But an FXR150 sure is purdy! :lol:

[Badcat]

well - i just bought one.
on the list so far:
exhaust
gsxr igniter
airbox mods - or pods
maybe some 38mm flatslides
do the research to find out whether to use stock gsxr cams or yoshi ones.
that's the plan so far - any constructgive comments welcomed..

[vifferman]

Now that I've finally washed it, the Firestorm has moved down my list of ugly bikes, although it does look a little ungainly from some angles. Fine from the rider's position though. :ride:

I have to agree about the Multistrada though - it looks ugleeee :eek5: from most angles.

Sometimes ugly is good - the Speed Triple isn't an attractive bike, but looks right nevertheless.

[jrandom]

But an FXR150 sure is purdy! :lol:

Well, it *might* be purdy, if it was yellow and purple... no, wait, that would be 'gay'. :bleh:

I think we are talking about looks not what they ride like. S'pose some bikes are 'Kool' some are just 'Kooler' than others, but again some bikes are 'Hot' and some bikes are heaps 'Hotter' than others. Which begs the question is your bike 'Hot' or 'Kool?' Will leave in agreement. Ride with pride no matter what you ride :whocares:

[Bob]

Howcum no-one has mentioned the original Fazer?

Now that WAS an ugly bike! I owned a 1998 Fazer - and to be honest the looks sort of grow on you after a while, but I still think it has the kind of looks that if it was a baby, the midwife would have slapped the mother.

Cracking bike though - I'd recommend trying one out to anybody.

Cheers Bob,having a dig at my baby like that.Right enough the Fazer`s known as "the ugly bike" on BBs all over the net,those of you that havn`t seen one click on my avatar.Seriously good bike though and one of the few where used prices are actually going up,I`ve seen 3 in dealers recently same year as mine going for quite a lot more than I paid over a year ago,and that was top book at the time.It`s not pretty but I`ve kind of got to like the looks,got a kind of brutal streetfighter type profile,the main competitor is the Hornet 600,nice but girly.Thankfully the Suzi 1200SS makes it look a thing of beauty and I`m pretty sure the cheap ones you`re getting is a result of the abuse thrown at it when Suzuki announced it`s sale over here,it never actually hit the show-rooms.

[Sensei]

Hey Doug : Owned a 93 907 Paso for a couple of years was a sweet ride , wouldn't have brought it if it wasn't a great handling bike . Horrible ride ?? Owell after riding a CT110 I can see how you could think that :killingme

Sweet as Doug : I owned a CT90 when I was 15y .Low /High Gearbox throught I was the shit been able to crawl up little hill's in low gear , plus did great wheelies with someone sitting on the back carryer . Nice to remeber the good old day's . Yea all Paso's aren't the best looking maybe why I felt sorry for Mine & brought it .

I agree, in it's day that would have been right up there, compare it to the gs1000 & cb750 of the day. Technology wise it had some good things. Everyone thought underseat radiators were wicked when they came out on the Britten 12 or so years later and yet a Harley, a manufacturer better known for tractor like engines (almost) had them in 1980.

They dont really make them do they, all I ever see them doing is packaging stuff to be sent to "this fabricator" or "That fabricator". The more I watch the less they seem to be building.

Dont really have a dislike for any particular bike. Cant say Im a big fan of Goldwings, but they have a place somewhere in the biking community.

One of THE ugliest bikes has gotta be the Kinetic 170 (?) :puke:

A mate of mine was resently given a brand new one of them things,with the instructions "Let us know what ya' think later"
He's been pressing everybody that vists into taking it for a ride an then asking for opinions.
My turn came a few weeks ago.I thought it was ok for what it was.It sat on 100kms without any worrys but if I was in the market for a bike like that I'd buy the GN125.The GN's just got better finish and known factory history/back up ect.Both look OK for what they are.I mean their both economy commuters aye. :spudwhat:

650 was a neat bike("Eurosport" version sold here at least),Custom and Silverwing should have been drowned at birth,Turbo?big question there has got to be "why?"

[moko]

Owner of this bike sent a pic to Supermoto magazine and asked "What do you think?",let`s just say they were very diplomatic.There`s something similar round these parts with CBR600 mag wheels but it`s a lot prettier than this one,if it was ridden flat-out into the front of a truck it`d still be prettier than this one.

650 was a neat bike("Eurosport" version sold here at least),Custom and Silverwing should have been drowned at birth,Turbo?big question there has got to be "why?"Answer- Because ;). All the other biggies had a turbo Suzuki had the XN, Yamaha the XJ, and Kawasaki had the GPZ.

[moko]

Answer- Because ;). All the other biggies had a turbo Suzuki had the XN, Yamaha the XJ, and Kawasaki had the GPZ.

Yeah but what I was getting at was why the CX when they had more suitable 4 cylinder bikes they could have turbo-charged? From what I`ve read and heard the Kwak was the only one that was really worthwhile.

[lewis_walker]

Any of those stupid concept bikes they keep coming out with. Then cruisers, more power to anyone who likes them, just not my taste.

You've got to be kidding :wacko: Take a look at this and tell me its ugly...

Honda was going though a stage of producing some quite weird configurations at the time IIRC.

Dang,I like to think I've got a pretty open mind when it comes to M/C styling an I won't knock another riders personal ride.
BUT WTF DID THEY DO THAT FOR. :first:

Because they`re American,probably thought of as "subtely modified" over there.

Worlds ugliest bike BMW K1.

American Chopper just purchase the parts out of catalogues of custom parts made by fabricators.
Frame, forks, swingarm (if fitted - LOL), tank, wheels, bars, engine, brakes, and seat.
They then assemble the bits together when they arrive (basically they are fitters) they then get a welding torch out and cut up a small but of metal, grind it a bit, then attach it, do a few bits of finishing and park their name on it (basically its Hewlett Packard ... kinda look the same too).

[inlinefour]

what do ya think?gn250 :whistle:

But I disliked the GN250 that much that once I'd taken it around the motorcross track a few times that both tyres went flat and I blew the seals in the frount shocks and the clutch was fried...

[gav]

Answer- Because ;). All the other biggies had a turbo Suzuki had the XN, Yamaha the XJ, and Kawasaki had the GPZ.
Except Honda were the first to release a Turbo. And the Kawasaki was officially called 750 Turbo, wasnt actually referred to as a GPz by Kawasaki.

Aw c'mon, I'd have one in a blink, they're a piece of real Kiwiana :cool2: plus you could carry a spare tyre on the nose-cone.
The bikes gav shows are uglier - but they are MEANT to be (I think)! :wacko:

Almost right. The spare wheel bolts on the rear above the number plate. The nose cone is also the fuel tank.

You mean all the ones I rode I rode backwards!!:gob:

That long since I've seen one I forgot WHERE the spare wheel went!!

Yeah, the front mounted fuel tank is part of the poor survival rate, - crash&burn. :weep:

Well the two I owned both had the spare bolted to the rear. :(

For some reason I really dislike the Suzuki Impulse, maybe its just the eighties attempt at style or something.... :killingme
