Hard to agree with any of them. No list like that can be taken seriously if it doesn't include a Harley boat tail or the F6B, although the latter is no so much ugly as stupid looking. What about those early Viragos? They should there well before the Magna.

Me too. Probably should have been 3. I guess the R1200GS has been copied so much lately that its not considered ugly any longer.

Owned 3 on list. I thought theor design had character. Author of article didn't like pipes on Honda 400 but that is part of what attracted me to it. But it never got much use as I preferred my T150 with ray gun silencers.

The Rocket sounds like a tractor so I get that (Tractor from HELL)!
But the Rune has to one of the coolest looking bikes of all time.

That author is a nitwit. The Buell, Rune and the KTM are awful. But the Magna, come on. That and the ZL900/ZL1000 were killer looking and kicked a$$. Big CC cruiser muscle bikes. So many other bikes should be on this list. The BMW R1200 CLC, any Boss Hoss, Honda Pacific Coast, Victory Vision, All the new Indians, and I agree with canberra the F6B looks like a Cushman Scooter.

I like the way the Rocket looks, I like the way my Boss Hoss looks, I like the way the new Indians look, the guy might like fat chicks with corrective stockings and a mustache, we all have different opinions of what looks good.

I see the article was written in 2011 so the F6B was not around yet. I can't find the authors name though. Does anyone know who she is and if she still lives in her mom's basement? I bet she also works for Consumer Reports, the folks who think the Toyota 4Runner is one of the worst vehicles on the road because it reminds you it is on a truck frame. Duh! It is a truck and meant to be rugged...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I may not like the look of that Buell but the rest seem fine to me. Especially since I think that Magna is one of Hondas most loved rides from that era.
