For me the worst is the ST1300 with the bags removed.
It's so bad that I can't even find a decent pic of it on the Interweb.
Best I could find is this pic but from the rear it is TRULY HIDEOUS!  :yikes: :doublepuke:


Other than the rear of the ST, this must be the all-time most hideous bike.

Looks like it belongs on a carnival ride.. With clowns on it.

The overall result, but in particular the abnormal proportions between the bike and the windshield, plus, if you see the bike form the front, its too "fat"!
They just retired it from the range in Italy: I think they sold too few of them!
Ah, don't get misled by the picture "alone": when it's ridden looks awful!  :pukeface:

O.K.....the Victory Vision takes it-hands down !

That is one butt ugly motorcycle . From the front it looks like Taz eating a basketball ...or maybe Bozo the clown.

Once more a Pacific Coast, this time from 1990. Note the swell front mudguard.

Vee-Stroms won't win any beauty contests from the factory, but when you fool with the paint it can get really bad.  I advise NOT looking at the pic below.  Remember I warned you.

I would actually like to have a PC 800. Always wanted one, & I think when My Connie is paid for, I'll look for one.
