Default 3 ugliest Harleys

Thought this would be interesting to see everyones taste. Don't take it personal if I name your ride, just my opinion. I have seen all these bikes with mods that I like, I am just talking bone stock.

1. V-ROD (all of them)
2. Heritage (I hate studs)
3. Rocker (just not for me)


What a traitor, 2 our of 3 are softails.

"Eye of the beholder" Hell that said I have done some things with my own bike that afterword I was like "DAMN!!!! That has got to go!"

But if I were to play your reindeer game I would say:

1. Vrod (not cuz I dislike the bike but it is not your traditional Harley and think it would fit better with a different name tag)

2. Ultra's (you loose the look of the bike behind the bags and trunk)

3. XR1200 (just not my style but I bet they are fun as hell to ride)

They are fun as hell to ride, but I agree with you on the style.

Any touring model, of any motorcycle manufacturer.

Any touring rig with a trunk. I know its practical but it ruins the lines. Fairings and bags look good on the right bikes but trunks are eyesores IMO. Also - I've seen some ugly Sportsters trying to look like FX Softails. I don't like pretenders. But the majority of Sportsters are OK. Just about anything else in the Harley inventory past or present I'd be proud to ride.

Just because it's fun to **** in people's cornflakes...

The Rocker. Any one of them. They look ridiculous.

The Crossbones. They can be made into a decent-looking bike, but as delivered they also look ridiculous, especially the crossed bones on the oil tank.

The Softail Convertible. Why? Tiny bags and a useless windshield just make the bike look silly. And while we're at it.....

All the CVO bikes. Horrifically over-styled. You buy a CVO bike, you ought to get a gold chain and a chest wig.
