    Ugly bikes

    I was sitting at the lights today and a V Strom pulled up beside me. Fuck those things are ugly, and even though I'm sure they are awesome bikes to ride, I just couldn't bring myself to own an ugly bike. To me a big part of owning my bike is sitting in my shed looking at it and thinking "fuck that's a nice looking machine" and having people come up to me in car parks and say the same kind of thing.

    There are some incredibly gorgeous bikes out there, some bikes that just look cool, some that look mean and some that are design classics; but there are some bikes that are just plain ugly.
    Don't blame me, I voted Green.

    I reckon it's the multi-purpose ones that are the ugly ones. They become a "frankenstein of functionality"

    The BMWK100 is horrible, so big and clumsy looking, and so high off the ground and so heavy!
    My Dad has one and loves it

    I've just bought a Norton Commando, so speed and reliability are further down my list that looks, history,designed and built by actual people and the sound.

    Interestingly enough, there's bikes I aspire to own based on their uglyness. Bimota Mantra is up near the top, along with a Harley VR1000 Super Bike and a Y2K.

    Realistically, an MVX is more than enough ugly for one garage

    I can't believe that a guy with 'Triumphs version of a GN250' actually started *this* thread!

    BTW - I am a after a GB400. I love them but all my mates think they're ugly which only makes me really want one.....
