The BMW Scarver looks okay. Great ride, as well. Roon: okay for what it was. Victory: I agree. Battletwin: again, okay if you like a fairing. C1: I agree. Moto 6.5: it looks okay [bulbous fairing. There isn't one]. Bimota: daring styling. Gilera: I agree. Johammer: Whoa! Those mirrors. R1200C: not ugly at all.
@@wazoo2 I had an R1100GS back then, and BMW gave me an R1200C as a service bike once. It was a great ride. I stopped at my local in northeast London, and people poured out to take a look. It grabbed much more attention than my GS did.
The Rune? Lol. One of the best designs ever created. I guess beauty is subjective. The Rune is a marvel. And no I don’t own one. I saw one last week at a bike meet. It looks like something an alien would ride to Earth.
is this supposed to be top 10 ugliest CLASSIC motorcycles ever made? I don't understand how my street triple didnt make it to this list along with MT10 and any KTMs...
Rune !! worth more now that when it came out!! beauty is in the eye and all that !!! to be fair, many bikes that didn't sell years ago are worth a lot more now !!
It’s amazing how they’re no Japanese motorcycles on this list except for the one. No surprise there. The Japanese are known for making beautiful exotic machines. People can’t take their eyes off them. The content at visordown is so original. This is only the third time I’ve seen this exact content in the last couple months and with same bikes from BMW. Why wouldn’t I like and subscribe to this channel? Where else can I get such unbiased premium content?!? Where?!? Seriously?!? Where can I go to get unbiased premium content? Probably not TH-cam😒
The Scarver is actually a pretty good bike for city and commuting. That baggage thing where the tank is, is still alive in the Honda NC 750. It's also light and nimble and tall which is a godsend in traffic.
I had the impression that Victory motorcycles was shutdown because its parent company, Polaris, had acquired Indian Motorcycles and simply didn't want (or couldn't afford) to maintain two brands.
The Honda Rune should not be on this list. If look at closely, it's actually a work of art. The only failure about the Rune falls on Honda's bean counters. It costs Honda ten of thousands of dollars more to manufacture the Rune than what they sold it for. The Rune is now a collector's bike and worth more than what the owner paid for it. As for the Victory Vision, it has an Arlen Ness influence in that bike. Like it or leave it, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Hey, some people think the Nissan Juke is a masterpiece. The people must be Chinese because they think Hunter Biden is an artist.
To be fair there are probably more ugly looking bikes than nice ones. Especially for the last few years. It’s just transformers with stickers. I remember this bond bike was my dream after the film’s release - years later I was in shock I could have ever like it.
I disagree on the Aprilia, Gilera and Johammer. Different is not the same as ugly. I actually think the Gilera CX 125 was a work of genius. These are now actually very sought after so it seems I am not the only one. I do however admit the color of the example bike is a bad choice. If one however takes a look at the black version…..
If this 10 motorcycles are ugliest of them all for you how did you get to that conclusion? Have you ever heard the ugly is the beautiful? However I think you never see or experience a real uglie motorcycle, but I will give you a point for well done explanation coments.
Ironically I was watching videos of various bike weeks from the good ol USA. There, gowdy, ugly and ridiculous go hand in hand. Usually modded Harley's
I'm disappointed not to see my motorcycle on this list. lol An early 2000s Katana 750. The thing looks like it was inspired by a lady shaver FFS. Batman headlights and bee ass looking tail light. WTF were the designers smoking? Fortunately, I got it REAL cheap and it's a decent overall motorcycle.
Strangely enough most of the motorcycles on your list go for a small fortune these days. And you think the Rune is ugly?!? To each his own I suppose but definitely not taking advice from you for my next bike!
No, I don't agree with you. Try pulling your visor up. At least there is some effort to do something new and interesting here - and to good effect with some of them (Yes, like that electric one with the sticky-outy horizontal fork and sprouting mirrors - amazing, not dull and actually fun - imagine that!). Look at the average motorcycle riders choice of helmet and helmet decals (!). There is so much bad and infantile taste that sells in the motorcycle world that success in a market like this is not an indication of design intelligence or any kind of educated eye. The truth is many bikes that sell in spades are (perhaps understandably) bland, compromised sludge that tick a mish-mash of superficial trend, practicality and other boxes and many people who buy them are more worried about not fitting in or being the odd one out at the pub than they are about design integrity or anything like it. Despite all the tired associations made between biking and rebellion, there's often more of a herd mentality when it comes to design and motorcycles. I'd rather have the odd duckling if it meant we'd get the odd swan. Er... yeah, some of these are a bit ugly though.😕
I totally agree with you %100 these are the ugliest motorcycles ever made especially the Victory and the BMW 1200 C if you see one they make you throw up interesting you didn't include the Suzuki Hyabussa but it is ugly for a very good reason to go faster many years ago there was a documentary on bonerville salt flats and there was a Suzuki Hyabussa setting a speed record with a 4 stage turbo geared up and it achived 285mph no nitros but that Buell was ugly and the Bimota is totally wierd what about the first Suzuki RE

R1200C looks cool to me, I almost bought one

I don't understand all the hate on BMW R1200C, i like it, it's a good take on boring cruiser design
True
Only thing I hated about the c was the cut in hp compared to the same year gs and gsa
Rune is one of the Best looking bikes ever made!!!
yes, may be, the best ever !
The Rune? Lol. One of the best designs ever created. I guess beauty is subjective. The Rune is a marvel. And no I don’t own one. I saw one last week at a bike meet. It looks like something an alien would ride to Earth.
RUNE = if not the best, one of the best looking bikes ever !
Agreed.Visordown talk utter bollox as usual.
The Honda Rune is absolute work of art if you ask me…

yeah, ironic really that most of the bikes on here are now considered appreciating classics
How could you forget every generation of Suzuki Katana?
That’s a legendary bike
@@mavisbanks9780 It's hideous. Legendary or not.
I quite like the Aprilia Moto 6.5 (5:15)
I would love to have one
Valkyrie is ugly AF, but it is so cool. Naked flat 6? Yes please.

Umm... Katana. Hayabusa. Pacific Coast. DN-01. NM4... The list goes on for ugly Japanese bikes.
@@phillipbatho3213 LOL I bought a Katana and everybody loves it! Coooooooool
@@boodog4023 late 80s - early 2000s?
@@phillipbatho3213 2020. I love the first generation looks too, but the ones in between not so much.
@@boodog4023 the new ones look nice. I always thought the original were fugly, but not as bad as the twenty years in between.

Note this is not a video about bad motorcycles, it's about ugly ones.
That johammer thing is cool. Looks like a cartoon insect on wheels.
Like it just crawled out of a daffodil?
This is the wrongest video on the internet, ever.
👍hahahahaha
1999-2006 Kawasaki Concours. That was beaten with an ugly stick. That could have taken the Honda Runes spot.
I like the Joe Hammer "thing". It reminds me of a bug
Had a Victory Vision and absolutely loved it.
I had the impression that Victory motorcycles was shutdown because its parent company, Polaris, had acquired Indian Motorcycles and simply didn't want (or couldn't afford) to maintain two brands.
Exactly! A very obvious rebranding exercise, also used to dump some less successful stuff.
I like the look of the Valkyrie and manta
I’d say MT-10 is easily top 5 for me.
Ahh, I own one of those. It's gorgeous lol 😆
Ture..New MT series are hideous AF..🤢
@@Banditmanuk i side with you
@@mavisbanks9780 👍👍👍
@Banditmanuk - whoops! :-)
Any Vitpiln, Kantana, and BMW K1 are candidates that could be added. Of course the 1998 K1 is long but BMW should be recognized for it.
I saw an F650CS recently. Probably only the 3rd one I've ever seen in the wild.
As a Suzuki Freak, I just breathed a sigh of relief.
Worried you might spot one?

I don't think this lister knows what "form over function" means.

R 1200 ST, HD 750
Any reason Ducati is not on your list?
In terms of looks : R1200C and Rune > R1250RT > Sportster S > Vulcan S > Pan America
Batter Twin > new Norton V4SV > 2003 Multistrada > NT1100
HD Nighster 2022 with plastic engine cover and that hideous 2 to 1 exhaust
Amen!! Sportster S as well. HD finally improves the technology, & destroys the looks!!

your choice of BMWs is strange : the R1150R, Rockster or R1200ST are so much uglier
*Motorcycle is never ugly*
They are unique..if you said motorcycle is ugly. Then put Honda Monkey as no 1. But, no one will say Monkey is ugly.

Funnily enough, we included the Katana in the original article but our opinion wasn't universally agreed with so it didn't make the cut for the video
Haha. An epilady shaver!
Enjoyed your comments, made me chuckle out loud
The Rune is actually quite good looking. You've missed the first gen Ducati Multistrada, they were proper ugly
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yep, the MTS1000DS was a bit of a munter!
R 1200 C - Absolutely NOT. Rest all totally yes
i've got the r 850 c
