I intend to finally demo a MT07 this year to see what they're like to ride,I would have rode one years ago but god they're ugly at the front

Re: Fugly Bikes
I reckon that passes all the way through ugly and out the other side into WT actual F.
If I won the Euromillions I'd buy one them just cause it's so batshit.

I'd have one in a heartbeat, but not at £13k (that's with sensible extras) and definitely not at that price as a second machine. As a traffic busting runabout though.

Re: Fugly Bikes
I really liked this when it came lit but now it hasn’t aged well and looks fat round and heavy

Re: Fugly Bikes
I'm not calling it fugly (I like them), but the TL1000R looks so big and heavy it makes a dent in the fabric of space time.

It's the Hugh Jazz. Even coming from an era of substantial rear ends,the TLR knocked it right out of the park.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 10:19 am I'm not calling it fugly (I like them), but the TL1000R looks so big and heavy it makes a dent in the fabric of space time.

Re: Fugly Bikes
They weighed in at 228kg wet, which is hefty for a supposed sports bike and 17kg more than the TL1000S. So it didn't just look heavy, it was heavy (maan)...

Can you actually carry stuff in that lump on the back? If it's useful it sort of changes the view of it a little.

Re: Fugly Bikes
Had that exact one new and loved it, amazingly a similar wheelbase to the 98 R1 and a very compact bike if you remove all the bodywork and tank. But with it all on they’re huge.
