Yep. That's what this guy believes, anyway.

His idea of ugly really does not make to much sense to me, but hey to each his own...
Although I agree about the Magna.

This might be the ugliest looking bike, but a hell of a lot of cool backyard engineering went into it. Wouldnt be my ride, but still a milestone in motorcycling

That guy's list is terrible. Some people may not care for the Buell, but VERY few would say that it's one of the ugliest bikes. From what I've seen the majority of riders think Buell does a great job from a styling perspective.

I limited my little list to production bikes, not one-off customs. There are TONS of ridiculously hideous individual bikes out there - way too many to list. It amazed me how super-ugly bikes ever make it to production.

That guy is an idiot, I think he put that post in as a reactionary statement and got exactly he wanted and he is carrying it out.

Everyone has an ugly list. What make him the authority on ugly?

Notice none of his ugly bikes have a full fairing?

I think he only likes the plastic fantastic.

His authority on ugly is traceable to his inbred lineage.

But that's just my opinion.

Hey wait a minute! I happened to have liked the BMW K1 and the Ducati Paso!

I'll agree with the others though.

And that Multistrada is positively the UGLIEST bike I've ever seen. I'm not a big fan of the Triumph Speed Triple either. Looks like a crotch rocket somebody crashed and then did the bare minimum restore to put it back on the road...

Actually...if that were the case, he'd be riding my 636:

Is that a picture of the guy riding a Dyna-Something? In my humble opinion, there is no such thing as an ugly motorcycle.

And Private blogs are soooo creditable, particularly in matters of taste.

A lightning is uglier tha a BMW 1200 Adventure - yeah right. Next.

Just like beauty, ugly is in the eye of the beholder.
I find some of those pictured above beautiful. Most not.

The Buell shown as #1 is not a very pleasing color combination, but hardly an ugly bike.

"..Is that a picture of the guy riding a Dyna-Something?.."

It is, unfortunately. But anyone that rides with a kitty cat face mask and "..lives for cats, pasta and Harleys..." might be marching to the beat of a different drummer than I am.

hey think about the Ying and the Yang without ugly we wouldn't have anything to call beautiful. this guy may be an idiot but i guarantee people will read his website and give the Buell a second look. I think there are quite a few ugly bikes out there, but they are motorcycles. These bikes in some way have spawned styling cues for future bikes.

CB400F is an ugly bike? Straighten out the pipes?

"Honda CB400F. Nondescript tank, leg perforating rivets on the seat, and I'm sure a good welder can straighten those exhaust pipes right out."

Yea...right.

What do ya want he is canadian?

I bought mine because it was different, At homecoming there were a bunch of lightnings and no two looked the same, every body tinkers. That is what makes it fun.

You have seen that motivational poster about Honda right? the caption said. Honda for a soul-less motorcycling experience. The picture was at an event and it had identical goldwings lined up in a red and champange color. pretty funny.

I have never read a bad word with regards to Lightning styling until that article. He is a vocal minority at best.
