what? the 400 had the coolest exhaust IMO. rocket 3's are just bad ass in general and that's about it for me.

Yaaaaa riiiight, that dude`s a tool. Some of those bikes are truly ugly but the 400? He`s a stem (crack that is) sucker fer sure...IMO

kslrr · « **Reply #3 on:** June 21, 2008, 07:15:49 PM »

At least it is #10 which means it is not the ugliest. I am supprised that someone who has been riding since 1970 does not see the classic cafe styling that was the CB400. He states he liked the CB350. They are two different bikes in terms of market target.

That article lost all credibility when I seen they didn't even have the new butt ugly Victory Vision on that list.

I see some of this modern crotch rocket crap they put out now that is 1,000,000 times uglier than the 400 could be even if it was completely trashed

One year of 350 production?

What an idiot

i LIKE the bsa rocketIII the triumph one i dont.

The Buell Lightning is ugly-awesome, just like the Triumph Speed Triple. Both are my favorite modern bikes.

KTM, Rocket, Roadliner and Kawa I'll give him that. The Beeza is homely but still cool. But the Rune - that's probably the most innovative cruiser to come out in a while, and I think its Art Deco streamlining is brilliant. Like a two-wheeled Super Chief. It's wonderfully, fantastically, balls-to-the-walls over-the-top, and God bless it for that.

Anyway, opinions are like #$%*s, etc. Here's a better question: what do you guys think are the ugliest bikes?

Honestly, hes says that "a good welder can straighten those exhaust pipes right out." Seriously?

Even Honda seems to still like that header...http://hellforleathermagazine.com/images/Honda-CB1100F.jpg

Go to eBay

Then go to eBay motors

Then search "All motorcycles"

Then list then "Highest price first"

The first 6 pages are in my opinion, pretty damn ugly.

The article was written by Hal Licino "He lives for cats, pasta and Harleys", and is from Toronto.

I wouldn't trust him to pick out a style of casket for me.

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I'm thinking he may be a victim of Lasik surgery gone awry. The surgeon may have left some tools in the cornea, or perhaps some cigarette ash.

Pitiful.

Gawd, is Honda bringing that to our shores? I'd love to have that in the garage next to the 550.

There are a couple on the list that I don't care for, but for the most part, I agree with TT. (I love the Buells!!)

He's in Toronto? Tell me where. I'll take some straight pipe and beat him with it till it looks like a 400 header.

Pretty lame list IMO what the hell is wrong with the 400f and the kz? but i will agree about the any buell making the top ten.

jonbuoy · « **Reply #19 on:** June 22, 2008, 01:17:39 PM »

You know what they say - you don't look at the matlepiece while your stoking the fire, every one of those bikes would be a hoot to ride.

I love my buell lighting and my honda.. Then again I dont buy stuff just cause some artical in a magazine said so or cause my favorite movie star recommends it.

I agree with Lloyd..most others on this thread. Bike styling is such a subjective thing. But this Hal Licino guy seems to be just spouting air when he tries to explain his reasons. Yes..pitiful indeed.

Whew...Thank god I don't have one of those ugly CB400s. My 550F looks nothing like that. Well until I can afford the factory pipes.

I mean, seriously, if this bike makes his list:

Then you can just add in all Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, kawasaki, and most Harley cruisers into the mix as well. I mean, they all look the same.

If he put in the M109, I wouldn't have thought he was such a crack pot.

That Stratoliner is on my short list of new bikes I would own.

My short list of bikes I want includes the BMW K1200R. Now that bike SHOULD be on the ugly list, but man is it a blast to ride!!!

c_kyle · « **Reply #30 on:** June 27, 2008, 07:51:59 AM »

That guy's full of #$%*. Not one of those bikes should be on that list. Granted, I do think some of them are less than examples of what a particular motorcycle should look like.

turboguzzi · « **Reply #31 on:** June 27, 2008, 11:32:52 AM »

Ha-ha-ha, getting cramps by now, cant stop laughing!

this guy put the Suzuki 650 savage in his list of:Top 10 Japanese Street-Legal Bikes Of All Time

his reasons:

10: Suzuki Savage 650. This was the first street-going Japanese thumper to do it right. The Yamaha SR500 went into the clip-on British nostalgia Tavern to Tavern bike mode and that was the completely wrong direction. Yammy's thumper was heaven in the XT incarnation but was balky, slow and vibration-stung in its street going version. The Savage did it right with superb styling, extremely comfortable cruiser ergonomics, and what was essentially one half of a Harley 1340 cc engine. It sounded right, it moved right, it handled right, it was priced right and I'm amazed that Suzuki didn't sell a few extra million of them.

Say no more.....

It really seems like his idea of a good looking bike is anything that looks like/is kinda like a Harley... all other bikes be damned.

kslrr · « **Reply #33 on:** June 27, 2008, 10:37:13 PM »

At least he has the CB350F on the top ten of best bikes. But his reasoning for not having the CB750 is bogus as well as why he thinks Honda killed the 350F. Honda didn't "kill" the 350F, they improved the performance of the small four and captured the cafe' styling in the 400F. What universe is he from?
