For example, the sublime lines and melodious rumble of Falcon's Kestrel stir our hearts. The choppers collected here, on the other hand, turn our stomachs. These custom jobs each stand as a gaudy elegy to the wasted trappings of ill-conceived dream bikes.

Let's take a moment of silence, please, for alligator hides, candy cane spokes, and bikes that handle not unlike a forklift. And now, here are the world's ugliest choppers. Alligator ChopperAlligator ChopperBike Builder Jim Jablon was given an alligator corpse that was killed by state officials, and he decided to "put it to good use" by skinning it around a chopper.

Victory Motorcycles Gets the Ax Honda Just Invented a Self-Balancing Motorcycle Why Vintage Motorcycles Are the Best Motorcycles Silent Film Shows How Motorcycles Were Built Before the Assembly Line This Might Be the Single Greatest Save in Motorcycle Racing HistoryHome / Reviews & Info / First Impressions / For the first few years of my motorcycle career I didn’t have much money. My first motorcycle was older than I was, and it was my pride and joy. My third motorcycle on the other hand, well, it was just a really good deal so I bought it. The trouble was, that, well, it looked like this. Skulls and bones and abbreviated expressions and Joshua trees, and trust me, you’re missing the best part. On the side of the tank was a picture of a skull with sword going through it. It got me the nickname “Skullfucker” for a season until I just had to sell the bike. I don’t know what posessed the previous owner to get it painted up like this. I’m not sure what I was thinking when I bought the thing either.

What’s the ugliest motorcycle you’ve ever owned? Let me know so I won’t feel so lame? Tagged with: Confessions of a Motorcyclist My friend cocked her head sideways and stared at me from across the table. “Everything you just said was a contradiction.” I love it when an intelligent and attractive woman calls me out on my shit, so I smiled at her. “I mean, I get that it’s complicated, but, ... My father hit me once, but he only ever hit me once. What I learned from that single open handed hit was discipline, love, grace, humility, respect, and trust. The strike itself taught me the first lesson (discipline). I had been out of line. The rest I would learn a few ... Here’s an open letter I wrote for my ex. Why share it publicly? I refuse to live in a world where speaking your mind takes courage, where lovers are categorized and labeled, and where mature adults hide from discourse that others may call awkward. “We will not walk in fear, ...Each year around this time the MO staff gathers to contemplate the new breed of tasty two-wheelers coming our way.

This is also when each editor begins positioning himself for a particular press launch. Last year, Preemptive Editor, Troy Siahaan made it abundantly clear that only an act of God would keep him from the R1 launch. This year he’s communicated the same thing about the new Suzuki SV650, a bike that, democratically, didn’t even make this list (Ouch. -TS). Top 10 Anticipated Motorcycles of 2015 Top 10 Anticipated Bikes Of 2014 As good as last year was (R1, H2, Super Adventure, 1299 Panigale, Tuono 1100), 2016 is shaping up to be equally exciting. From a small-displacement beginner bike via a company unknown for producing such models, to a performance cruiser, a flagship superbike, a more comfortable version of our 2014 Bike of the Year, and a few concepts we’re betting will be rideable production versions before year’s end, the MO anticipation meter is topping out. So here, in alphabetical order, are the 2016 motorcycles we’re most erect to ride.The front end of the Yamaha MT-10 is plain nasty(Credit: Yamaha)Shots fired: Yamaha has come gunning for super-nakeds like the BMW S1000R and the Aprilia Tuono with a new naked R1 that's a far cry from the tasty-looking FZ1 or years past.

The MT-10 is ugly, squat and nasty, as reflected by the fact it's going to roll into the MT model line. With a retuned version of the crossplane-crankshaft R1 superbike engine providing the boogie, the focus will be on fun, but Yamaha has also chosen to throw in a cruise control system.What sort of sicko looks at a purebred racebike like Yamaha's gorgeous YZF-R1 and thinks "yeah, let's pull all the aerodynamic plastic off that and make a hideous, brutal streetfighter?" I'll tell you exactly what kind of sicko: me. Me, and apparently the product team at Yamaha, who has just pulled the covers off the 2016 MT-10 at EICMA Milan.In days gone by, a retuned naked R1 would get the "FZ-1" moniker and a pretty Italian-style naked reskinning. The MT-10 is an eye-bleeding techno-industrial abomination, a cacophony of sharp angles and bolts and the odd flouro yellow wheel hub. It's a Frankenstein mash-up, as if the odd-looking MT-09 mated vigorously with the R1, and the offspring looks like it'll get in trouble just because of its bashed-crab face.

I love it, it feels like the first hairy-chested Yamaha in a long time that the local posers won't touch with a barge pole.The MT-10 makes Yamaha the third Japanese factory to have a proper crack at entering the magnificent super-naked class, after Suzuki's GSX-S stepped into the fray at last year's Intermot show and Kawasaki's Z1000 more or less inched its way into the discussion over a number of years.It gets the CP4 crossplane crankshaft inline 4, 998cc R1 engine, presumably detuned from its 205 hp peak down to somewhere around 160-170 to look BMW's S1000R in the eye. Reining in that aggressive motor is Yamaha's D-mode system of multiple engine maps, and a switchable 3-level traction control setup.Like the R1, the MT-10 gets a slipper/assist clutch – a system that keeps the lever action very light, while also reducing wheelspin under engine braking on downshifts. Anyone who's ridden an EBR lately knows how important a light clutch can be to general round-town rideability.Suspension is upside-down KYB forks and a monocross-linked shock.

Both ends are adjustable but the shock doesn't appear to have the R1's high/ow speed compression damping separation. Brakes are proper radial 4-pot Nissins with standard ABS.Because we live in blessed times, Yamaha has bestowed a full electronic cruise control system upon the MT-10. I can personally take or leave multiple engine modes and traction control systems, but fly-by-wire electronic throttle control has at least brought me the ability to stretch my right arm on a freeway section.Pricing is yet to be announced, but we'd expect the MT-10's price tag to be closer to the GSX-S than the S1000R, but time will tell. In the meanwhile, let's marvel at just how broad and beefy the list of full-fat nakedbikes has become in the last few years. From the Tuono and Brutale to the Super Duke R and the S1000R, to the GSX-S1000 and now this nasty, chippy Yamaha, road hooligans have never had so many options.The MT-10 is scheduled to launch at the end of May, 2016.There's a ton of photos in the gallery.
