Well, I like the 'Strom, but a lot of people think they're ugly. The new Victory Vision takes the cake, hands down, IMHO, as the ugliest production motorcycle ever made. Ever.
I cringe when I look at it.

Worse than the Rune?
Even the Zoom M109 looks like flayed crap in white.

Yes, worse than the Rune. The Rune at least looked like a motorcycle, of sorts. The Vision? A grey door wedge with wheels?

Looks like the design was actually made in the 60's as a streamlined futuristic concept. Once you get to the future, it just looks goofy.

I dunno--I think the old Honda Pacific Coast was fuglier.
But that one is pretty bad--like someone from the 1930s tried to design something "futuristic."

To me, there's just something unnatural about the shape of the Victory. Yes, the Pacific Coast was ugly, but it at least
sort
of looked like a Goldwing.
The Vision is just somehow shaped
wrong
, and I don't know how else to describe it.
The front is absolutley awful.

Hey, that's just not fair.
The BMW R1200ST is the ugliest.

Looks like a 1950's idea of what the first ATOMIC MOTORCYCLE would look like. In other words, quite ass-tastic.
And that's coming from someone who doesn't hate Stroms.

Nah, I'm a V-strom owner, and I gotta admit my bike is uglier than a R/ST!
But back on topic, I'd rather be seen on a Road Glide than that Victory. The Road Glide fairing is seriously ugly, but at least in a less presumptious way. The Victory seems to try to be Art, and it just ends up being comic book.....

I completely failed to look at that thread. I saw it in the March 07 issue of
Rider.
I probably skipped the thread because I think Victory's have the ugliest engines made. Those jugs are loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.

I prefer the original Vision, even though it ran like crap.
In '83 they even had a sport-touring version.
