Never understood the katana hate from everybody

Cheap and plentiful for a reason. Underpowered. Terrible suspension. Heavy. Looks like a sea creature.

is started the crotch-rocket craze
which made hooliganism much more affordable
and in doing so helped degrade our already poor public image

The original katana was one of the original superbikes. Odd looking 80s bike for sure. The ones that came later were bloated, slow, cheap, underpowered sport touring bikes masquerading as sportbikes. Nothing to do with the heritage of the original machine. Just borrowed the name.

yeah, the cylons circa 1978
Looks like a Cylon from the old Battlestar Galactica TV series with Lorne Greene.

First gen Multistrada for sure (doesn't look terrible in the black with gold wheels though as the black tends to hide the ugliness).
Honda DN01 yup. 90's bubbly Katana as well.

I like the look of the whole bike. Looks rugged and tough... looks can be deceiving of course, interested to see actual specs and peoples reviews when they start hitting the road.
Takes a bit to fall for the design, but I seem to like the so called ugly bikes. Love my BMW and its boxer engine and weird headlights.
Wingboy already posted the first thing that came to mind when I saw the thread title. I personally *love* the look of the GSX1100S Katana and the Honda DN-01 (and the Valkyrie Rune, before someone posts it). V-Stroms, well, their form follows function and I can respect that. I disliked the new Katana at first because I thought it was too conservative, but it grew on me.
One somewhat common bike that assaults my eyeballs is the HD Road Glide... when I knew less about bikes I thought HD owners were putting a crappy aftermarket fairing on to make them look like that. One that I don't see much anymore but was definitely on the roads was the BMW F650CS. Also not big on any version of the Yamaha V-Max

I had the use of one for a weekend - it was an answer to a question that nobody asked.
Honda DN-01.
Knew someone who worked at a Honda dealer when these came out. They called it the "Do Not Order One".
I still would still gladly own a V-Max simply because I’d be too busy riding to worry about it’s looks. Just like Busa owners......lol

Not a fan of goldwings (the new one isn't too bad looking though) but it's amazing what the wrong colour can do for an already not so pretty bike.
