I gotta go with the KTM. It looks like something out of that movie, Beetleguese.
Although how on Earth did the BMW 1200C fail to make the top ten? Inconvievable!

Finally, something entertaining/interesting on the new (improved?) site. Yep they're ugly. Time to get out the sawzall, a welder and the rattlecan.

I was thinking more like something out of the Hieronymous Bosch painting of "Hell".

Here I misread it - thought it said "Ugliest Motorcyclist" at first - figured you all were talkin' about me again..........
Man, that Varadaro is butt-ugly!
Looks like a bigger version of some of the Chinese objets d'art i've seen lately.
Maybe the folks that designed the Aztek hae found work...

Possibly the "most off" list I've seen in years -- the listers obviously have a look they like. Many of those bikes are classics and chosen BECAUSE of their style. I've seen MUCH worse, except for the Honda Rune and Truimph Rocket III.
That's what I thought too, gimme a break, the new Buell, and the venerable and very collective CB400F Honda?
He did get the 3 cylinder Triumphs right though, with his references to tractor parts, and a prop out of the puppet show "Thunderbirds"..anyone remember "Supercar"?

That BSA Rocket 3 is more collectable than any in that bunch. Not many of those around and I bet it fetches about 15G in good condition.That's what I thought too, gimme a break, the new Buell, and the venerable and very collective CB400F Honda?

He not only missed the BMW1200C he also missed the Norton Hi-Rider. The Madura! The Ducati Indiana! The Sears Allstate Puch!
..and the Suzuki Trail 120, the Bridgestone 350 GTR, any Honda Dreamcycle, and the fast but butt ugly Suzuki X6S Hustler.
The Norton Hi-Rider. To commit such a travesty on such a beautiful machine as a Norton, was unthinkable. The guy what designed that abortion should have been shot by a firing squad.He not only missed the BMW1200C he also missed the Norton Hi-Rider. The Madura! The Ducati Indiana!

Th other ugly machines were ugly from the stat, but they took what was a classic beauty and made her a crack *****.
I hear that......
...the guy who 'styled' the Hi-Rider went on to develop the 'New Coke'.The Norton Hi-Rider. To commit such a travesty on such a beautiful machine as a Norton, was unthinkable. The guy what designed that abortion should have been shot by a firing squad.
There is an article in last month's "The Classic Motorcycle" about a BRAND NEW BSA Rocket 3. It sat in the crate in a dealer's back room for decades, and has now been placed in a museum, complete with shipping crate, manuals, tools, etc. That's a nice magazine, BTW, if you like the vintage stuff. Lots of Brit bikes, some Japanese, almost no HDs...
What??
This is the most pointless and baseless top-10 list I have ever seen! Obviously, this is a subjective topic. I don't think you can ever call the Buell ugly. Where is the Madura? Just bunk!

That's what I thought too, until I rememberd the looks on my riding buddy's faces when I pulled up on my new XB9SX. They were speechless, and compaired it to some cross between a floor jack and an electric percolator.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I was looking for the Madura too btw...but we'll have to settle with the first rocket 3...

That Honda Vadero is no worse looking than the Suzuki V-Stroms.
My top ten Ugliest Bikes:
10. Suzuki GS1150ES (Cyclops)- take a bike with a dragracing stance and put a windjammer on it. This isn't that bad (but close).
9. Kawasaki 454 LTD - take the stretched out chopper look and squeeze it into a short wheelbase. It makes for a bike that looks taller than it is long.
8. Suzuki Madura - take the V65 Magna, and melt it. Give it spoked wheels, a monoshock, and mufflers that look like the flash's winglets done in chrome. huooooo...., (shivers)
7. Suzuki RE5 - rotary engines should be underneath hoods, not under gas tanks. No Truimph triple ever looked THIS industrial.
6. BMW RBMW1200C - Germans understand cruisers like Americans understand leiderhosen.
5. Rokon Trailbreaker 2wd motorcycle: great if you like Tonka; if you like sleek... not so much. Rokon Pictures. Trail-Breaker, Ranger, Nethercutt, Scout motorcycles.
4. Munch Mammot - Words do not do it justice:

3. Boss Hoss - great idea, horribly disproportioned.
2. Amazonas (with the fairing)- forgiving the 1600cc VW motor that only makes 65hp, it's just ugly. A Boss Hoss without the big buck finish, and any attempt at style.
1. Ducati Multistrada - the only UGLY Ducati ever made, it is the polar opposite of the 916. I think the fairing was made by Oreck vacuums. Or maybe it was a a snowmobile? Amazing the Hypermotard lurks underneath. Multistrada might mean something cool in Italian, but it even sounds ugly.
I know it's a great bike to ride. But I want to look at it too.
If you have one, sorry. Just my opinion.

I remember the first time I saw a Madura, in the early 90's. My first thought was "what kind of bike is that--it's really cool looking".
Different strokes, I guess.
