Probably that retro Ferrari thing

https://gessato.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/gessato_gselect_ferrari_bike_05.jpg

Other than the exhausts having a kind of retro Honda style to them the things a complete disproportionate mess imho Confused

Failing that, how about a K1 to remind you of the S1000rr's incredible heritage Wink

For sheer numbers BMW have produced the most ugly range of bikes for the longest time.

Hi

New VFR1200. But also the old PC800.

But there are plenty of ugly bikes around.

All the best

That's not a Paso though Wink .

But think the Paso was one of the best looking bikes of the time. Certainly far better looking that the Hondas attempts at copying it with the CBR600 and CBR1000.

All the best

Cheap plastic?

That said although I wouldn't put them as the worst looking bike I wouldn't say they are good looking.

Thought Police will be after us both now.

All the best

I'm still in two minds about this one. Ugly or not. It's the nose things and the mirrors that get me.

Just realised they copied my LEDs in hand-cover thingies Razz.

For me, I'm not sure there are truly ugly bikes (though the new Honda 1200 is trying damn hard) but there are silly bikes, such as these for example:

There's a lot of very ugly uncommon bikes around but as for everyday, common or garden bikes I've always thought these were particularly unattractive:-

I'm not so hot on the new BMW S1000R, the headlights don't match, which makes the whole front look wierd :S

I think if they'd used the clutch side headlight on the throttle side it wouldn't look so bad.

I find the modern Fireblade particularly obnoxious.
