    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.

    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.

    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…..

  • @LiveTorsionParadoxTo
    @LiveTorsionParadoxTo Před rokem

    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.😕

    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.
