What is the ugliest motorcycle ever made?

With all of the heated debates going on lately, I thought I would start a thread on a nice neutral topic.

What is the ugliest motorcycle ever to come out of a factory?

I've GOT to take issue with the BMW comment...The 70's
Beemers were/are individual, handcrafted/assembled motorcycles. Granted, BMWs are an acquired taste {you need to look past the bad chrome on the spokes}. They are light, good handling, functional bikes. Take the centerstand...you can change EITHER tire from it and also "pivot" the bike on it. Note the curve of the grab rail on the seat, ect...
Their first "superbike" {1973 R90s} is one fine motorcycle.
Ugly? That would apply to Suzi's "water buffalo" or their "wankel"...

LOL, gearhead! I read this post this morning, and thought of the munch, but wasn't sure if they are factory, or basicly hand crafted.

For those of you who don't know what they are....




One man owns several of these, and comes to the British Biker Coop rallye in Wisconsin, where this pic was taken a couple of years ago.

As far as I know, the Mammoth was a "factory" bike, but it was handcrafted with extremely low production numbers, The alloy gas tank looked like it was formed with a ball peen hammer by an 8 yr. old. If you ever see a "restored" one, and the tank is smooth, it's been "over restored"! LOL

I believe most of the light colored parts were magnesium. The tank actually looks pretty nice with all the shot peen marks on it. And absolutely no rust.

I thought the Buell was pretty ugly. Even after I got my first one. Now I went and got another...Ugly is in the eye of the beer holder...and I don't even drink...maybe if I did?? would they still be ugly??

Probably P-O somebody,but IMO the new Honda Rune needs to be on this list.The front end has way too many parts, the pipes look like old Cadillac tail fins, and the overall bike looks like something out of a comic book.Maybe I'm just set in my ways, but this one don't do it for me.

Oh yes, the Honda "Goon" gets my vote. Brought to you by the people who gave us the Dream.(Nightmare) It rates right up there with that early sixties Rambler, or the Fabulous Edsel. Makes me appreciate the fine styling of the Toad. (I've got one!)

The Honda 150 and 305 Dreams were ugliiii.
HD made an opposed cylinder shaft drive for WW2. It was BMW knockoff and in olive drab was a mega ugli machine.
