Must say I like the look of the 'Busa in the first thread though ...

I must be their demographic.... short old, fat, ugly (maybe I like them cos they make me look ok?)

woe is me!!!!!

Off the top of my head, I think the Honda CX500 was a damned urglee beast.

There was a reason for that,was called Cagiva,certainly not the last fuck up they made.

They would be the only people stupid enough to put 10000 Pantah engines into some godawful thing i cant bring myself to say,then again nobody bought them so no doubt rusting away god knows where.

whats with all the fairing bits hanging off the gas tanks

i really can't see the point of them,can they not even draw up a nice looking tank?

Honestly guys it's pretty obvious... we see them everyday and it does not make them any more tolerable, it can only be the one and only..............

GN250

It's fucking diabolical honestly. The way the rider sits on it, everything- just the worst thing imaginable.

This is also very high up on the list... just 1980's technology wrapped in disgusting cheap styling, honestly I'm ashamed of the japs for this one. thought it was something out of China or Korea when i saw it.
