I was just looking at some pictures of my bike and thinking, even the best looking bikes have some terrible bits of design, or a terrible colour scheme or something. Obviously everyone loves their own bike but there has to be something you don't like on it? Even the original shape MV F4 (which in my opinion is one of the best designs ever) has something wrong on it. Thought it may make an interesting thread (although I am slightly pissed so it may not!)

For me its the fking gold bars they decided to put on gen 2 Tuonos. What the fk was that all about. Admittedly its not the prettiest bike ever, the nose cone divides opinion but I'm not sure many people can argue the frame, swingarm, wheels and back end are pretty sexy. Even worse is the baby st brown frame on the factory models, which luckily mine isn't blighted with but I guess the Ohlins makes up for it.



My other bike which is a burgundy Thundercat I actually struggle to think of something that looks even semi decent!

If you had bought the Factory version, you'd have complained if the bars were silver!

They could have just done the bars black and it would have looked fine on any model!

Is it an R1200S? I occasionally get serious GAS for those, I might do something daft one year and buy one.
