That's close, but I have to go with whichever bike has Duck-Stew on it.   ;D

Anyone?  Anyone?

Okay, here's another...

Give me a minute to search through this forum.  [popcorn]

I could never understand what so many people see in this bike
(http://s2.hubimg.com/u/725101_f520.jpg)

I'd take a Rune over a Diavel.

The Rune is a bad ass bike

really anything occ has ever built... [puke]

its a shame something as awe inspiring as a B2 influenced this abomination

Hmmmm..... >:( Looks like I'm going to have to "un-friend" you and take you off my Christmas Honey Baked ham send list! [laugh] Although I have to admit I never like that color. I was never a fan of the "hump" and have never taken mine out of the box. Every time I see one I can't stop thinking of all the funny Marty Feldman hump lines from Young Frankenstein!! [laugh] [laugh]

Frankly I'm disgusted by all the hate in this thread.

I love all bikes. Even the fugly bikes have something, somewhere going for them.










Except for OCC theme bikes. Those are a crime against humanity  ;D

I am so glad that the OCC-Ducati experiment was short lived

That green monster with the wood panels...

Troglodyte!

Seriously?  :(  Man, I love that thing. 

Pssst.  It's a supersport.  ;)

Don't know that one.  Pix?

the nose for the rear pillion always cracks me up.  it's like the bike is sniffing the rider's ass

As opposed to the front pillion?

He said ugly motorcycles, not psychedelic limos.

Why do people do things like that to poor Hayabusas? What did they ever do to deserve that? [bang] [puke] :P

Not a bike but I saw someone wearing this helmet the other day.
sooooo ugly..

I would defend the ones people have modded themselves (incl the green/wood SS)...do what you like. f em if people dont like it.

BMW K1

Say what you will -- the mantra has a 7 or 8 gallon tank!

Its ugly

Suzuki B King.  I could see how it could be forgotten.

B-King with aftermarket pipes looks just fine.  'Busas with the stickers removed and a few mods make great sport-tourers. 

Like the run-it-into-a-brick-wall mod.

 [evil]  cruel!

and a glove box

A custom KLR

Actually I find beauty in its' functional ugliness.

I don't think it's ugly at all, and I agree it is highly functional...

probably a little better made than the (Italian) bike it copies:

(http://www.desertpistons.com/4strokesd/Morini501/pics/da_1_b.jpg)

It is hideous but I bet that tank is made out of steel!  lol

It's not, it's nylon.  And I have one guy on my list with a Mantra and his tank is starting to deform.   [thumbsdown]

That really sucks.  Those tanks wont be as easy to come by as a Monster tank either :(

(http://bikeautozone.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/BMW-R1200C.jpg)

That was the other one I was going to mention. How that got through the design dept. I'll never understand.   [puke]

Likely the design department DESIGNED it; thats how it got through. Unfortunately design departments are as fallible as the rest of us.

WOW, I almost bought one of those the first year they were out.  What was I thinking????

this probably... haha

(http://www.007museum.com/Tomorrow%20never%20dies.jpg)

His finger really should be off the trigger. Unless he was going to shoot the bike to put everyone out of their misery! Look up ugly in the dictionary and there will be a picture of that bike. [bang] [puke] It shouldn't die tomorrow... it should go now!!

Saw this on eBay just now.  It's both ugly and stupid.  I give no points for originality.

(http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll176/nordog59/UglyBike.jpg)

I can dig it.  [evil]

Me too.  8)

it's ugly and stupid in that "she's not a pretty girl, but she's pretty exciting" sort of way..

i'd ride it just to say i did.



weirdos.  take off the K&N and ride with your junk out for a cheap thrill

@ Ducatiz, spoken like a true champion. [thumbsup]

People should do what they like, but that doesn't make everyone's custom bikes good looking.  I think the bike is fugly.  I guess I missed the "has to be factory built" caveat.    

I'll add another +1 for the black bobber low rider thing.  Looks cool, but probably a little crazy to ride. 


Another bike I have always disliked because it screamed euro man-purse, and capri pants to me.

Silly bike with a silly name. A shame they thought it would replace the SV

Introducing the Suzuki Gladius??

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hVxGxPfWQMs/TZ8DTFzo39I/AAAAAAAAD7o/zSU-0l-9ZCA/s1600/1.jpg)

 [laugh] russian roulette  [laugh]

+1! Agreed, stupid name for a goofy bike. A SV replacement? I think not. :P

I'm not sure this one counts, I mean, after all, it's TRYING to be ugly.

(http://loyalkng.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/alien-predator-motorcycle-custom-bike-arnold-1.jpg)

It's winning.

+2... i mean... didnt anyone on their staff realize that the name "gladius" would automatically translate to the bike being called the "gladys"?

i wonder if they will learn their lesson and quickly change the name and look back...

Well, gladius is Latin for sword, and Katana had been used already.

What's wrong with calling a bike Gladys?  I've named my bikes, though I never actually call them by name (it always seems wierd).

because, when i picture someone named gladys... this is the mental image that comes up >.<

(http://thumbnails.truveo.com/0022/0B/25/0B253FB1699AFAC374A3B0_Large.jpg)

and just overall, for a bike, the name gladius just sounds ugly to me... a short roman stabbing sword? meh

lots of other cool sword names could have been use... but for me, the biggest crime was killing off the sv name.  i mean, with the sheer popularity associated with that name, i was shocked they were willing to kill it off.  years of brand recognition gone basically...

Then there's the Jaguar bike, which looks, um, well, it looks like. . . . . . when you're 'riding' it.  It just looks like that cat's trying to leap away.  far far away. . .

it just looks like he is sodomizing a big cat. 

why would you want a bike like that?

I dig it as well.


This one however...

I think your first sentence is the answer to your second.

I dunno if this is a member here (sorry in advance, if so) but my friend showed me this bike the other day. I'm a little speechless.

I absolutely loved Celli's bike, I constantly referenced photos of it while I looked for inspiration to modify my bike.


Here's the ugliest bike in existence, the remains of mine as I'm parting it out after being struck down by a hippie in a Prius.

(http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k285/DanteFazio/IMG_2671.jpg)

it is still more beautiful than 99% of the bikes in this thread...

Celli's bikes Badass!

(http://www.dragstripgirl.de/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/hippie.jpg)

I like carbon as much as the next guy (well, unless the guy who made this is the "next guy"), however I've always found this to be a bit much.

It'd be absolutely gorgeous if properly painted, leaving carbon accents. As it is, it's an exercise in not knowing when to say when.

I saw this V-Rod side car rig at the Rock Store some time back.  Bike parking is so tight that it's difficult to get a full shot of a bike, this one was no exception, though I did find it particularly ugly.

Dear God!! My eyes!! :o Can I have that click back? [bang] It will take months of counseling to get over that.

Jesus I almost lost my breakfast. How about some warning!!

What?  What?  You guys never seen a V8 motorcycle before?   [laugh]

Wow, thanks guys.  This thread did a lot to cheer me up after loosing my best friend of 15 years.  My little Jack Russell terrier has had congestive heart problems for about a year.  Last Sunday she was running around the block like usual (neighbors all liked her so it wasn't a problem).  She had some cataracts going on and her vision wasn't what it once was so she used the road edge to navigate and stay on the block.  But apparently last Sunday she got confused and ran the wrong way.  I found her about 1.5 miles away lying on the side of the road.  She apparently had run herself out trying to find her way back home.  She was still alive when I found her but she couldn't get back on her feet.  I put her in the truck and brought her home.  She gasped for breath about 10 minutes before she finely just passed.  I hope she knew I had found her and brought her home.  I blame myself for not keeping her on a lead that day but I like to think she went the way she would have preferred; running.  Like the old Stones song says, "Not fade away".  Really miss her, she was my constant companion every day since I work at a home office.

Now in keeping with the theme of this thread, I submit this:

Dude, you're cracking me up today!

thanks... we aims to please [thumbsup]

no no, not what i would look like!  [laugh]

seriously, do you think that's rideable? it looks like one good pothole would fold the front right into the motor. are there laws about headlight height and "rideability"?

Depends on jurisdiction. I know in most states "ape hangars" are illegal. That typically pertains to any situation where the hands are higher than the shoulders...

Don't think for a minute that just because it is a motorcycle it is actually RIDDEN.

swampass

Anyone who actually uses that should be pregnant dogslapped....with his bike....and then have it taken away from them.

And while I love Harleys, most over-the-top choppers are just silly.  And OCC?  Hell, I know theme bikes are just artwork and not real bikes, but even their non-theme bikes suck.

Is that for real?  [laugh]

If so, I have truly seen it all. Depreciate your bike even faster, act now!!!!

it took a few people quoting this, but i finally read the ad.  at first i thought it was an ad for a trailer.   sadly i bet there are a lot of people that would be interested in this product.  

It fits right in with the car idiots who buy the "Interfooler" fake intercooler and little speaker thing that plays a "blow-off valve sound" every time you push in the clutch, all to make it look like a car has a turbo when it doesn't.

The big problem with the trailer thing here is......how is it gonna fool people when they see you rolling it off and on the trailer?   :D

i like the 2x multiplier.
only for the hard core bikers.

After seeing the bike in person and the swing arm I received from him, yes it's that bad.

Maybe the crusher would be a better fate.

+1

That is truly unbelievable.   :o

If you look closely, you can see that the HD on the trailer also has the KaleCoAuto cross drilled brake lines.

This on is a serious contender for all time ugliest.

(http://pictures.topspeed.com/IMG/crop/200909/victory-vision-5_460x0w.jpg)

At least there is no rebar tack welded to the frame like that other one

bobspapa just posted three that were close but THIS has got to be ugliest of all time!

think how much fun you could have hassling groups of Harley riders on the freeway!

Um, its asposed to be, its a rat bike. 

The beemer and the victory are uglier imho.  First generation Ducati MS is also on that list.

That actually looks like stupid fun....

Probably a fun swamp buggy!

the real fun begins after the 5th or 6th beer when somebody yells  "Hey everybody, watch THIS!!"

What did that start life as? A Goldwing?

If so, then I say they did it a favor.

That thing is bad ass.  [evil]

Goddammit. Now you got me shopping craigslist for old Goldwings...

Agreed  8)
OK, maybe the gatlings are a bit over the top, otherwise I think it is pretty cool, in a Mad Max way.
 

Different strokes, I guess. I find it re-goddamn-diculous.

Maybe without the guns, and the hot-rod pipes, and the rivets...

That's Norm Brown's old bike isn't it?  I thought it won some awards in real shows and got lots of love at the time in the old board?

As I recall, there was some love, them some queries, then some uncertainty and trepidation, then some indignation and outrage.

I didn't participate in much of any of it, but I remember it happening.

Something about it handling poorly, and/or being a death-trap.

Yes, Norm built the bike for himself, the sold it due to health reasons.  The bike was well received until it was sold. The person who bought the bike, well, let's just say he was not a happy camper and badmouthed Norm all over the internet and refused all offers by Norm to make things right including new triples to alter geometry back to more conventional numbers.  If you are curious there may be more info on the old board.  Actually, if you google Phil Barone Ducati you will come up with some history.
