Awww man, my poor SV dropped down to number 9 in sportsbikes this year

This fella seems to have some pretty single minded views on what he likes and doesn't like though.... doesn't seem like it'd be much fun being him :S

Whoever made that list is ugly stupid.

Dude doesn't know the difference between an airbox cover and a fuel tank.

I think this list is right up there with the Dog & Lemon guide.

There were maybe 6 out and out ugly bikes in that list. The rest were merely an expression of styling preference and bigoted opinion. I reckon this dude will be 55ish and bike styling stopped for him when Craig Vetter sold the Wind Jammer fairing for the first time.

The Honda CBX1000 is not an attractive bike to me, but a Suzuki GS1000S is. Just because it has 6 cylinders, the CBX isn't elevated magically into good-looking-land.

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.

5) Triumph Street Triple - Decked out in green bodywork to resemble Shrek's Snot Rag, this misbegotten bucket of bolts does absolutely everything wrong in what passes for its styling. The double bug eyed headlight squats under a big plopped pile of ogre mucus, the fuel tank seems to have been pushed back until it's vertical, the side covers are really the fender or are they really the seat base, the headers are a convoluted mess, and it just goes to prove that Triumph's last decent bike was the Bonneville.

WTF I bet he has a lada .........

S3, Striple, and the Rocket III all made the list.

This guy has a credibility issue.

Haha. I am now.

Loving it to bits. It's nice that the "floor oil storage system" has now been fixed as well, although some would argue that it's not a Triumph without a leak.

Laughed so hard I almost pissed myself.

**breakaway** · 27th January 2009, 18:36

KTM RC8 considered ugly? This muppet has no idea what he's talking about.

Do bike riders look as much like their bikes as much as dog owners look like their dogs ?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder or is that beer holder ?
whatever gets you thru the night ..........'s alright .
