Top 100 ugliest motocycles in history

[dipshit]

And what's with calling the SV a sportsbike?

haha... That's what i was thinking... at least the SV made it into the sportsbike section!

There should have been a sports/touring section as well. Then there would have been somewhere to list Ducati ST's

[Devil]

Awww damn, my 690 only got to 2nd ugliest motard!

Don't necessarily agree with all these but have to say there are some Fugly Suckin' Isters in there.....

[twotyred]

great stuff, I found myself agreeing with his calls about 70% of the time,especially the modern angular stuff and the metric cruisers

[portokiwi]

i like the way the Katana looks. its a great looking bike.

The 400/4 on the ugly list FFS. That bike is rated as one of Hondas best ever designs.

The Honda 350/4 POS he bangs on about sold very few until it was rejigged as an authority (cop) bike for asian dictatorships. Even then they lost heaps of $$$ on it.

Its obvious from the list that he does not like angular styled bikes. I liked some of his summaries but he seems so out of touch, like somehow the world of motorcycling has passed him by.

Agree about the 400/4 this guy seems to have a pre-programmed aversion to a lot of bikes without any intimate knowledge ( read ' a second look ' ) I agree with a lot of what he says however, especially the current Euro Bikes with the framework and bling etc. Yamaha leave the room. Last good looking Bike they made was the FJ1200, but how can he call the Gen1 V-Max ugly ?

Glad my bike made it on the list though I refer to my Hayabusa as the Hayabugly ( The Bug )...at least it's striking and always gets a second look....and a few thumbs up.

Both my bikes made the list, The RE5 #1 of the golden age well done. The Blade (although mine is an earlier one) made the list also.

So its decided I have no taste in motorbikes.:slap:

But...where's the Dirt bike section...and the Trail Bike...Scooters.....

Mopeds ....?

[pzkpfw]

Damn, I like the Bionicle Delirio, Tesi 2D and Tesi 3D.

I've always believed that it doesn't matter if you love or hate a motorcycle design, just as long as it makes you feel something.

A bike can only be ugly if it makes you feel nothing at all.

The Honda Rune looks like a railway locomotive...

[NZsarge]

I like the ZX14, it shouldn't be there IMO.

Ha ha, right on dude!

The RC8?
The ugliest sprots bike?
Please...

Ugliest? Perhaps not but they ain't no oil painting either, it has some great design elements but the front around the headlight could have worked out better...

Dissing Yamaha? The structural elements that go into Yamaha's top end bikes can capture an entire evening of just looking for me. Vacuum die-cast parts, hidden cabling, crinkle finish paint, and washers that have no sharp edges scream quality values and thought at every stage of the design phase.

Oh well.

This proves everything you say must be true...

Ugliest? Of the top of my head i'd have to say the Honda DN01 although very nicely screwed together i'm sure...

Oh, I agree it's no Rembrandt (more like a Picasso!).
KTM always annoy me when the don't quite match the plastics - particularly on the orange LC8's and Adv's. The colours are shades out (which may be deliberate) and they have matt paint next to gloss paint.

The RC8 looks better in white IMO, I really like the look of SuperDuke's, again not pretty bikes as such but has the "X" factor and attitude in spades... Plus it's a great ride.
