Ugliest motorcycles

Ok, it's very subjective. But here's Motocyclopedia's list of ugliest motorcycles. This list is primarily for factory bikes (not concepts or small time manufacturers (because A LOT of those are uh... polarizing). Now most of these motorcycles may or may not be good in their own right. I'm not putting any body down, keep in mind I ride an awfully ugly bike, the KLR.

Early Japanese cruisers - The Suzuki Madura (below) is probably the worst though. Stepped seats, tiny gas tanks, square headlights, and mini ape hangers were in style; and all of them UGLY. Suzuki Madura, Honda Magna

Late model BMW's - Ever since motorcycles have been styled, BMW's styling has always been, well, different. BMW R1200CL, R1200ST, and K1200R


Honda CX - The CX isn't a pretty bike, but the turbo is downright ugly. Honda CX turbo

Factory customs - The cruiser boom brought several attempts at creating something "custom" from the manufacturers. Some factory customs work, say a Harley Fatboy, other don't quite work. Personally I kinda like the Rocket, and don't mind the Vision, but many feel these are ugly. Honda Rune, Triumph Rocket, Victory Vision


Motorcycles with car engines - Car engines are generally too big for motorcycles. If you mix the two the outcome is usually pretty awkward. Munch, Amazonas, Boss Hoss
