The 1150GS is beautiful... In an ugly kind of way [Image: blink.gif] This new Guzzi looks good from the side but I wonder what the front end is like? [Image: huh.gif]
And... the ugliest bike ever must have been the MZ ET250! [Image: puke.gif]

Maybe we should do a pole to see what we think is the ugliest bike ever?
