How UGLY do some bikes get these days , whomever let that design get onto the sales floor should get fired on the spot !

lol - it is a mystery.
I wish I could be in the designer's meeting to witness how decisions are made.

I always like playing devil's advocate and thought that maybe it looks better from the other side.
Not so much...
RE: Saw my first new Sportster S - Cormanus - 04-05-2022
That looks OK.

The left side definitely looks better. Um, lots of "locomotive bits", but better, possibly even a hint of some very early retro aspects.

I like this exhaust because it's not boring mainstream

being open to new things makes life so much easier

You are not wrong alprider.
Something for everyone.

I have to respect this thing because its HDs first real try at making a bike that genuinely performs at or above market competitive standards in its class. How it looks is...whatever. somebodys gonna like it.
Whats important to me is whether or not it succeeds at the first thing i said. Because that price tag is HIGH for a 1200cc naked.
