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?

Stripped 3 wheeler similar to Cushman w/o the cab.

Lets not even go into trikes, besides the one you showed has a steering wheel AND three wheels (FOUR wheels does not count!) What about them extra axles shown on the back without wheels for overloads!

Those are for the tracks. Tracks.

This ugly contraption is all-wheel drive, and can be equipped with tracks. Dang. I'd take it out in the mud. Still ugly.

Oh... and I don't really think the Cushman is all that ugly. Do you?

dodogas · ‎09-20-2005

I dont think a Cushman is ugly till you have to move a dead one around or try to load on a trailer. Stripped of its cab it will look sorta like the green bike.

One thing on the Cushman 3 wheeler that is cool is the rear end..looks like a mini Dana 60! and is rated for...2500 lbs!!!

This one has got to top the list. You would have to see it in person to really appreciate it, but these pics will give you some idea.
I wish I would have gotten a pic of the owner. Looked as strange as the bike. Wore a funnel on his head.

Freakin' hideous!

What the heck do you suppose is the chain-driven wierdness on the right side? Is that a wheel? Man, I can't see how he could steer the whole mess. Wierd. I get dizzy looking at it.

*southerneagle* · ‎10-03-2005

It was a wheel bazango....it's purpose...heck if I know. I guess it is some type of guide or balancing contraption. I wish I had some close-ups of it because there was a lot more crazy things on it than you can see. I don't think I'll ever see one to top this as being the most ugliest bike.

It looks like a wheel driven alternator, check out the pulley and see the wiring and battery.

Oh yea, and its real ugly. I bet that guy gets stopped by the law all the time just so they can make sure they are not hallucinating......

b-bop · ‎10-03-2005

Why would any one do that to a half way decent looking bike?

After that monstrosity, we need to dress up this thread a little. Check this out: Some guy that got KICKED out of an airplane and pretending to be a GYPSY MOTH spotted this on eBay from 2000 feet up and sent it to me this morning..
