In honour of me seeing the new Honda Fireblade 2012 yesterday, I'm starting this Product design thread with an UGLY.

WTF Honda!?
It's like every farking year you make an ugly bike, then whinge you're sales are going south, then you get your designers in and say "well last year our bikes were farking ugly, how can we make even uglier this year?"
It's not as bad as when Subaru went from the '07 Outback
to the '08

It's like somebody did a klugger on it.
What is with bikes these days?
You are flat out picking the brand from even a short distance - let alone the model.
that Honda looks very 70's retro bland.
And looks like they have shortened (& uglified) the Outback. I can fit most of my gear in my 06 without moving seats. 
Bah, japs bikes... they all look the same... like they are designed by anime designers! Give me any good old Guzzi, Ducati, Norton or BMW they are bikes!
^^^^ hahahahaha 
entitled to your point of view - each to their own doggie!
Wet Fart twins for me - bugger those rice grinders
I rode a mates Harley once... put a huuge grin on my face - mostly because it made so much noise and went no where, my smile was mostly wiped off when I tried to stop it at the first stop sign I got the smile back when I ground the pegs at the first corner and then laughed my ass off when I realised he'd paid nearly $40 grand for the thing 
And that blade is ugly

Harley's....ha!
I guess it's a wetdream for the loudpipe, beer bellied, black leather hardcore midlife crisis weekend warrior...
It's the SUP of the road
Give me performance and style any day...like a shortboard
Jap bike riders should ride in lycra as lycra match plastic very well!
Edit : polka dots lycra
Yep...and it rips.
Power to weight ratio is awesome.
They see me rolling...they hatin'
Does sick power slides too, as those racing slicks don't provide a whole lot of traction...especially when running the rear wheels at stock camber.
I remember my first ride of a Harley... the sportier V-Rod Night Rod.
My impressions:
1.- Nice start up > no key (just a key fob)
2.- Kind weird having my feet up front
3.- Hmm indicator either side
4.- First corner >>> WTF!!! this piece of **** won't take the corner! FULL BREAKS.
5.- Fark this thing is dangerous... I hope I make it back to the show room.
Mrs reaction:
1.- Vibration heaven...
2.- Get the bike!
That is one hideous POS. Looks like something Darth Vader would ride hahah.
Loved your missus' reaction though! Classic!
Umm, motorcycle forum is that way -->
Here's some rather ugly design relevant to kitesurfing..... focus people!!!!!
I love my JAP bike. Zing Ziinnnggggggg!!!!!!
I'll leave the lycra to the blokes along the coast on their pushie's but.
The bike with the bucket on the back is a pot heads dream!
While on the topic...
I think I could live with being branded a fag if I owned a Walz HC
But at ~$80k without an engine!?
Edit: If you're not seeing the pics it's cos your stupid company content filter thinks it's porn.
