FM. I can't tell if you are joking?
... your GS is always going to look like an unmade bed in a crack house...
No I wasn't. However I wasn't putting down the bikes I picked on as bad bikes, just ugly bikes. I'd take your GS in a sec. if I could afford it.Bart is on his way over with his mother to kick yer a$$!! Having never slept (or seen) an unmade bed in a crack house I will just assume it isn't the best looking bed ever? Not sure how there is a comparison of any sort, but? FWIW, I paid for my bike from earnings on the range training new riders, I continue my build as funds become available. I also peeled a lot of the older stickers off today, looked at them closely and realized I was no longer running many of the products for one reason or the other.
However this thread was supposed to be about beauty (aka best looking), not function. No matter the great adventures delivered, the performance in the twisties, the performance on the single track, etc etc, your GS is always going to look like an unmade bed in a crack house. Admittedly minus the urine stains, but all those stickers are a great way to simulate same.
I really like the Bart doll on the back, but no he isn't beautiful either.
FWIW, I paid for my bike from earnings on the range training new riders, I continue my build as funds become available.My comment was more about my finances ( ) than yours. My DR also looks like an unmade bed. It would be from some drug house where the drug of choice is cheaper than crack. I've got some stickers saved up, I just haven't used any yet.
However, some of you get it.....
FM. I can't tell if you are joking? FWIW, I see beauty in purpose driven design, if there is no value in application, I see no appeal. My GS is purpose built, with sturdy, clean lines meant to used in all situations for real world use. The lines are appealing, the color is appealing, and all additions deliver function, not flash, even the stickers have purpose-support the industry products that provide reliable bits of kit. Only (roughly) 10,000 miles this years (3,000 off road), and she still looks hot!!
I can sort of get the idea of beauty being what is seen in the elegance of function but this reminds me of an aviation saying: "Helicopters can't fly, they are just so ugly that the ground repels them."None taken, I reckon part of the beauty is the labor of taking a good platform and making it travel worthy in all conditions. Not many bikes have that Beyond that? I find the lines attractive and love the color scheme.
BTW: NO insult intended, that is a nice ride.
Best looking bike ever is the one I have at the time that is paid for.
