Fugly Bikes

[Mr. Dazzle]

Anything which juxtaposes walnut and carbon gets several ticks in my book. Add in those white dials and it could've come from a speedboat

And the 1200ST had an encounter with the ugly stick too. Which was a shame, because it wasn't a bad bike.

I had a blue one.

The only thing 'wrong' with it was the headlight. It did what it said on the label - toured sportily. Well, as sportily as a flat twin 1200 might. Tank bag, pair of panniers, pillion and away you go.

I know someone who owns one of these,it looks as bad in real life,but the owner likes it.

I don't mind the 6.5, I think it's aged pretty well. It was just ahead of it's time.

I'd agree with most of the selections on this thread, but feel it's a bit harsh on the SV650 especially. I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as some of the other Suzukis in this thread. And the first CBR600 wasn't really to my taste, but was a genuine game changer. Some of the fugliest bikes were those adorned with aftermarket fairings in the 70s and early 80s. They were truly hideous.

I agree about the SV650. I certainly don't find it ugly compared to the other more gopping candidates? But then I have a soft spot for the SV, having owned 3 or 4 of them.

I was just trying to remember the name of that. Ugly doesn't do it justice

I still like the 6.5. I posted it as my entry in a 'guilty pleasures' thread. I imagine that as the bike ages, gets rusty and knocked about that a lot of its charm will dissipate, but if a decent one came up at a sensible price, I'd have one.

You've got the cameras switched.

I like that!

Probably a few too many design ideas going on at once but I'll give 'em points for trying to be a bit different. Different paint job and a few tweaks it could be quite

That would mentally scar the youngsters

Finish that the way the little Honda cub has been in the other thread, and it would transform it...

I think the entire MT range hit every branch on the way down and it was a tall tree.
I like the Hayabusa and the SV

I think you fell out of the same tree and banged your bonce
