Default 10 Ugliest Bikes

Not sure if this has already been posted or not but found it an interesting read. Surprising some of those BMW's were not on the list. Good thing is there is no Sporty on the list!!!

Hmmm, some of the new bikes I can see making the list. But the Magna, for example, fit the styling of the era and was considered a good looking bike back then. Of course I look at one now and think it is hideous, but that is by today's standards.

Or maybe I am just taking this personal, since I had one back in the '80's.

No I agree with you the Magna was a sweet bike back then.

I like the BSA Rocket. I disagree with that choice. Why no BMW's with those ugly cylinders sticking out the sides.

I really like the Rune, I have thought of getting one. Can get a 0 mile 2005 for about 18,000 right now.

In their time, some of those were sweet bikes. I even owned two on the list. Loved the cb400, and the kz1300 was fast. I can't agree with this guys choices. To each his own.

Nope, I like several of these. The fuell in frame Buell Lightning looks good although too small compared to the earlier 'proper' lightning (see below)

The BSARocket 3 is very nice, and worth a fortune for a good one (wish I had one in my garage)

I would agree with all the Jap Harley clones though.

Still, each to his own I suppose
