Some of them are pretty bad but some of them aren't at all... I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder [popcorn]
"Vincent Black Knight - I had to dig way down in the archives for this one, the historical monochrome predecessor to the Pacific Coast. At least the Vincent had some pipes sticking out, although they look like they were worms escaping from a pile of manure."
I laughed so hard at the second sentence above that I nearly pissed myself!! [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

hey hal, how about this ,,!,,
Yea, some of their ugliest ...... aren't. And agreed, the little Honda 400 is a very attractive and good performing bike - and I'm not the Honda die-hard fan either.
I'd love to have a few of those "ugliest" bikes. I rode all those 70's bikes when they were new and liked em all. The Ducatis were always the fave.
LA
I would like to know what they were smoking. cuz I want some. Any thing that could make me that stupid should be legal
I would like to see what this guy considers an attractive bike. I am curious to see what he rides. Yes there were several ugly bikes in there but most were not bad in my eyes. I applaud the creativity of the designers of most of these bikes even if they are not for me.
Yamaha MT Bimota isn't too bad actually

psssst... the pic is the bimota, not the MV... ;)
I vote this list a Fail.
By the time I got to the Superbike category, I was pretty sure they were gonna include the Britten V1000 and the 916. [roll]
Can't believe this wasn't up at #1

Ducati M696 made the Top 10 Ugliest Naked Bike?!?!? Hmmmmm
Haha...yes....it made third ugliest bike...
Just what I say all the time [cheeky]
But..
They are dissing the Brutale AND the Delirio so I think THEY should be put to sleep, not the Mastino
Then we have two Schweineeimer (choppers) on the naked list...its make the beast with two backsed up

actually he said monsters. although he used the new monster in the photo. i SERIOUSLY don't take his opinion seriously. some of those bikes were mechanical works of art.

+1 just laugh (or not) at the juvenile humor. :)
Man, this dude has got his head up his ass. I checked what he wrote about himself and it seems that he is a lonely person working at the corner newspaper shop ;D
The new CBR 1000RR (Fireblade) is #8 on sportbikes? Really? Has this dude not seen the Japanese sportbikes for the past 5-6 years? ??? The new 1000RR is great looking IMO.
Hypermotard #1 ugliest in its category??
At its introduction in Milan It was awarded "Best of Show" and later "Best Bike for 2005" by the Motorcycle Design Association
Now the Multistrada on the other hand....
Ya know I think this guy also wrote a '100 Ugliest Women' list...here's an excerpt-
1. Natalie Portman
This horrible mishmash of components features a neck that is too long and slender for the attached head, plus there are clearly two moles present
(http://www.tccandler.com/images/top100/natalie%20portman%20100_small1.jpg)
2. Rachel Weisz
The eyes and lips are way too large and out of proportion for the face on this frankenstein example
(http://www.tccandler.com/images/top100/rachel%20weisz%20100.jpg)
3. Anne Hathaway
Eyes are too far apart. Plus there's dimples. Dimples belong on Shirly Temple, not a grown woman
(http://www.tccandler.com/images/top100/anne%20hathaway%20100.jpg)
4. Thandie Newton
This trainwreck doesnt even know what race she wants to be. What color is that skin? Its not brown, its not white...it just ends up being some revolting creamy mochachino color. Throw in a british accent and this mess gets even more confusing.

shall i go on? [laugh]

I noticed that, too. I remember Hypermotard was voted the "2006 World's Most Beautiful Motorcycle".
This guy rides a Harley....(He does admit that), There is your answer..And he thinks Ann Hathaway is ugly? What's his wife look like? (if he has one...)
Frankly, I think the new Monsters are ugly as sin.
Horrible front headlight.
Pathetic looking cast subframe on the back end. What freaking bean counter came up with that? Having some human beings spend time welding that beautiful trellis frame was just to expensive, eh? UGLY.
The remains of the trellis frame are bulky and crude looking, almost a cartoon of the original monster.
Plastic interchangable gas tank panels? Yaaaahhhhh! We can change our tank color like we change our hair color! Ghey.
The thing is sway backed like an old horse.
There is a reason no one likes the 1999+ Supersport. They were ugly. It was Ducati's 'misses'. The current monster = another miss as far as I'm concerned.
Leave the Japanese styling to the Japanese.
I want something Italian, and impractical, and over the top, and loud, and beautiful.
you know if this is going to be a new monster bashing thread can you just go ahead and make the beast with two backsing rename it. we already know the guy who wrote this list is an idiot. those of you who are agreeing... welll...
I agree with many of his picks, perhaps most.
He does sound like Mr. Blackwell (I think that was his name), The guy who used to rip on the actress' dresses in Tinseltown...I think Mr. Blackwell probably wanted to wear some of those dresses..?
Anyway I was shocked when I saw the 400 Honda as well. I think that is one sharp, classic design.
Ducati Paso...Who can disagree with him there? Ducati Indiana...I'd take one in a minute, just 'cause it is a totally unusual Ducati design.
Honda Rune, Victory Vision...come on, the guy got it right in a lot of cases!
The new Monster design is growing on me...no bashing here...though I'm glad I got my '06' S2R 1000 prior to the design update. I hope to hold onto the S2R for many years.
Too many agrees and disagrees to cover but I was happy to see KTMs (which I think are horrible but the press just rave about) and was shocked to not see more BMWs...The more recent ones have to be, as a company whole, the most bizzare, ugly bikes to hit the road in many years.
I agree that it would be interesting to see his 100 best...Fun read though!
He got quite a few right...it'd be hard not to.
His Supermotard collection is confusing. Half of the bikes in there aren't what I would consider Motards, while the other half are (Husky, Aprilia, KTM). This statement about the Husky solidifies that there are certain moto segments he just doesn't like, or understand:
OK, so let's see if I get this straight. The idea of supermotard is to emulate motocross styling but fitted with racing style street tires, right? What for? In order to jump sidewalks and run over pedestrians? Supermotard is for Superretards...
I think these lists are a triumph of human achievement.
After all, it's impressive as hell that a complete retard was able to put them together on his own [thumbsup]
If that`s the ugly list I would like to see the nice list ???

Really! Fact is stranger than fiction. You just can't make some of this shit up.

I don't think I have ever seen one other motorcyclist I have literally wanted to kick in the balls as much as I want to this guy.
Some of those bikes are definitely deserving. But others he would have to be out of his goddamned mind....

Personally I thought the 696 is one fantastic looking bike. I was a little shocked when I saw it on the ugly list, and therefore pointed it out. I am comtemplating on selling my 620 in a year or 2 and trade up to the 696. Just don't tell my wife. [laugh]
I also like the look of the hypermotard. The profile look is great and the tail/exhaust is just out of this world. Saw one last weekend in Woodinville/Duvall road in Washington State, attacking the twisties. envy......
What, no GS on the list?
Quote from: MrIncredible on February 03, 2009, 12:48:30 PM
It's not ugly ;)
OK, you must be high. I love the GS as much as the next guy, and if I could part with my Monster I'd have one. But it's f'in ugly.
