From my link:
quote:The Number 1 Ugliest Motorcycle of All Time: Buell Lightning. How to take a perfectly wonderful Sportster motor and wrap it inside a train wreck. The whole bike looks like it's sitting in a scrap yard after an 80 mph head on collision with an Amtrak. There are no words to describe the profound repulsive hideousness of this... thing!
I agree 100%.
Yes it is subjective, but it represents what more than 75% of the population thinks. Read the comments too.
quote:Ronnie Corbett says:
2 years ago
The Buell is a little unfriendly on the eye, but makes up for it in character (and the fact it is one of the few bikes I can reach the ground on)
About the 837,000 hits on Yamaha, Yamaha has roughly 20% of the market share, so it is more visible and known than Buell, which is .2%
Take Buell's result and multiply it to match Yamaha, and Buell's result would be 134,000,000. But thats not really fair, because if Buell had grown to get that much market share the XB line would of been long dead and there wouldn't of been any ugly bikes in the lineup.  |

lol ok....
I still don't see a vote by the people anywhere... I see a dude who doesn't like the Buell... 90% of the ppl I meet in real life tell me they think my XB12S is pure sickness and looks super cool... so I still don't know where you get your "75% of the population" thinks the XB12S looks disgusting...
Anyway, who cares right? we didn't buy our Buells to conform to what everybody else likes/rides

I think the Lightning is one of the sexiest bikes ever made. So count my vote as negative on the ugliest bike vote. |

Well then you are a wierdo Andy
Wave, you got one of the rare blue bikes, blue is the sexiest color on earth, there is no denying that.
My formerly ugly orange XB12SS.
Its the orange bikes that are the most ugly and slow and hurt Buell's reputation the most. |

"Well then you are a wierdo Andy" No arguments there.
I love the minimalist, no-nonsense look of the XBS. Probably the engineer in me that appreciates the looks! |
