For about the same price as a Burgman 400, you could go to your Honda dealer and get this:

It's the 250cc hopped up shopping cart of my dreams (before I wake up screaming). Anybody seen an uglier 2 wheeled vehicle? :o

SuzukiGirl1 · 09-24-2004, 11:17 AM

$5300!!!!!!!

themeatmanlandry · 09-24-2004, 11:17 AM

Holy smokes!!!!

I wish my friggin' eyes could spit!

**Louis** · 09-24-2004, 11:21 AM

That's fugly!

bat4255 · 09-24-2004, 01:39 PM

Off road scooter?

**Uncle Bob** · 09-24-2004, 08:56 PM

**Louis** · 09-24-2004, 11:28 PM

Time to change to glasses Uncle Bob

TL chris · 09-25-2004, 12:14 AM

Louis you know you wanna buy it.

*sinner*

i think they went for the mix between a Q.U.V. and a 2 wheeled vehicle, unfortuantly, they hit the nail on the head, and broke the nail.

sparrow · 09-25-2004, 10:30 AM

Maybe some type of student design contest gone horribly wrong?

dirtbikeriderrm85 · 10-27-2004, 04:54 PM

Thats nothing, you should see my 250 honda elite, now thats a bike, I can take it any where. I toke mine off roading, it went up hills with my rm85, that bike rocks, I should show it on here. the body is thrashed but it still drives like theres no tomarrow, every one will fear the 86 elite, muhahahaha.

corvairbob · 06-05-2005, 07:33 PM

now comon boys that bike has appeal. don't you all remember way back when you said i would NEVER BE CAUGHT DEAD in a 4 door truck!!! now look at you driveing it to church and to dinner parties! if they advertise it enought it will sell, heck you will buy dog dung if it is advertised long enough. don't tell me i'm full of it because for 5.00 bucks you bought pet rocks for gods sake you can get them for free on the ground.

makenzie71 · 06-05-2005, 07:47 PM

I saw someone on the highway with one of those while I was on the TLS. I pulled up beside him and nodded and he revved his engine and took off. I was like "no way" and cracked it open but the little bugger was gone. I can take one in the twisties, though...

ThunderBat · 06-06-2005, 11:21 AM

it looks like a naked Helix with knobby tires

viper94bite · 06-06-2005, 11:36 AM

i saw one of these at the dealer this wkend. I thought it looked kind of cool in it's own little construction site kind of way. The price is outragous though.

bat4255 · 06-06-2005, 02:15 PM

Yup, there's Ugly, then there's Agressively Ugly.

At Agressively Ugly, they start to look good.

JES883 · 06-06-2005, 04:10 PM

That thing's got STUNT written all over it!

axel_2078 · 06-06-2005, 06:12 PM

That thing is hideous. It looks like it was assembled from an erector set. (no jokes pervs)

tlwisner · 06-07-2005, 03:37 PM

I finally saw one of these in person at the Honda dealer this weekend. It's just a bizarre little thing with a huge pricetag. Yuck.

The Burgmann 650 gets a pretty good review in the new Motorcycle Consumer News (July 05). The guy who rode the test bike ended up buying one. That says it all.

nevanerviss · 06-27-2005, 01:28 PM

A two wheeled Hummer... That bike has to be the biggest waste of human energy on the planet, unless it was made by monkeys, then I can understand... (No offense, Uncle Bob...)
