I think I may be sick.
So many other ways this could have gone. :'(
Did you expect any different from BMW. Their designs have always been aesthetically challenged.
This is not from BMW, just one guy's take on it. I kind of like it. But that's just me. :-*
It had some possibilities, dig the old-school paint, the seat and rear mudguard is just plain ugly. Not sure what to call it but it's not a street fighter.
good god! it's definitely not a streetfighter. kinda sad for that S1000RR.
That made me spit up a little. [puke]

I kind of like it too, but there's no accounting for taste :)
[puke] What is going on with the headlights? WTF?
I don't care enough about the S1000RR to think they've butchered it by making it into that thing. I just don't.
But the part I like about it is that it's so weird looking and so damn ugly, it'd be worth riding around. If only to grin like an idiot as people gawk at you in horror. It's like havin' a bright pink bike. It's fun to rock out on something that absurd.

Agree with all of this 100%.

make the beast with two backs ugly!
Fringe? Really!?!?
Makes you wonder where the line is between craftmanship and ugly make the beast with two backsin' piece of abso-make the beast with two backsin-lute shit.
Someone's going to buy that Frankenstein abomination. [puke] Did Indian have something to do with designing it? Except for the lift its on, I really cant find anything else appealing.
no... no no no no...
A Harley pucked on the BMW. :(

I just made a little mess in my pants.....
...and I don't mean the good kind. :P
:-X [thumbsdown]
That puts a nasty taste in yer mouth. Somewaht comparable to that Yamaha with Downs Syndrome.
get rid of the seat tassles and i think it looks pretty cool. feel free to throw up on me a little bit. [drink]
he's got riding at night covered...... and that is the only posotive thing I can say...
Okay some say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this bike proves that (_!_) ugly is there for all to see.
luckily that thing is a screamer. Hopefully wont be sitting still to often.
Seriously??

I think the quote goes:
Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.
That bike hit every limb of the ugly tree as it came down.
I thought that they could not make that bike any uglier. I was way wrong.

That is a quote, and that is the way it goes, but the two statements (mine and the one you cite here) are making different points.
yeap that version of a streetfighter s1000 is horrible i think someone did one that was a lot better basically like a half faired version that was different but 10x better than the version shown above.
Let's please stop referring to "it" as a streetfighter. The only thing it will ever be fighting is the ugly stick that keeps being cracked all over it.
If you hate it now, wait 'till you drive it!

How dare you insult the Queen Family Truckster! ;)
I guess the Christian groups are right and the end of the world is near for anyone to put "streetfighter" and that thing in the same sentence. That's about as opposite as you can get..... reminds me of the scooter from Quadrophenia.

edit: I just noticed that this was actually originally posted on Hell for Leather which labeled it as a BMW S1000RR CLASSIC.. no mention of anyone referring it to a streetfighter, but then again I'm not a subscriber so I can't see the full write up.
That bike is alarmingly wrong in most every way.
I like it except for the fringe.

I was hoping no one inserted that picture on this thread, wait... on this forum, ever [puke]
I can almost hear those Brembo brakes screaming to get away from that abomination.
