I totally disagree with these choices. Please list some candidates for the real ugliest bikes ever.

WOW. I totally agree with you. How about the Suzuki Manura (Madura) or the Suzuki CattleCrate (Cavalcade)? Previous generation ( as of this week) Multistrada? What was that BMW cruiser called? I think the R1200C. That thing would make a train take a dirt road! Especially the one with the touring fairing. Not to bash Suzie too much, especially since I owned one, but the VStrom is no beauty queen either. The Buell listed looks no more like it rear ended something than a Triumph Speed Triple. Or almost any harley during the AMF occupation years. Someone please stop me!!

The Magna looks funny now, but it looked fine by the standards of the time. The rest of 'em look great to me.

The CB400F is a classic. "Surely a welder can straighten out those pipes" proves how much of a moron that guy is. One of the greatest header designs ever and he calls it ugly. The KTM is the only bike on that list I would leave on there.

That BMW bagger was ugly. Any Katana lands on the list too.

KTM is more weird than ugly, OK it's ugly too. You could give me the Triumph Rocket 3 anytime, I'd love to have one. The Buell XB form, which some (idiots) consider ugly, just showcases the incredible design of the frame.

I agree with the KTM and maybe the Magna. I don't understand the rest. As mentioned, some might look strange now but when they first came out they were cool. Froggy's comments don't count, he wasn't even born when most of these bikes were new!!

They should have shown the Magna with the "zoomie" exhaust tips. Remember that?

Of that list, I think they all look great. For the real list: BMW K1, Honda DN-01.

Nothing more hideous than a Yamaha Virago.

Okc99 you went & did it. Previous to seeing the Honda "Rune" liked the looks of almost all motorcycles now I am going to have nightmares - that thing belongs on every list for every anything UGLY

KTM kind'a weird but it looks like a motorcycle thru & thru

and I really like the BSA - Beezers always looked like MOTORCYCLES

I had a V65 Magna, and while it certainly wasn't the most stylish machine, it had 115hp, in 1983, and with it's V-4 design, it was a torque-monster to boot!

I'm thinkin that some of the bikes he listed, he hates em cause all he gets to see is the rear end as they're pulling away in all situations...

I'd have to agree with the comments about the Rune (put screens on the exhaust to keep stray cats out), rofl!!

Just my $.02
