ugly . . .

Dirt bikes are ugly . . . they are so utilitarian in design with very little cosmetic additions to help the aesthetics . . .

It hurts to look at them . . . very unkind to the eyes . . .

Na man that not fair to say that, the design of a dirt bike is to serve one purpose "ride well off road" the design of it help it do that, with big shocks, noddy tires, big fenders. The shit not suppose to look pretty, it's suppose to kick ass in the dirt. Let me ask you a question have you ever riden a dirt bike, Katz like you who say they hate something never even tried it before, stop hating!!!!!!!!!!!

Mr rebel, Do you like power? Do you know a dirt bike has the power to weight ratio of a top fuel dragster? And you have to have coordination and balance to ride one. I have a KTM 500 that rips. This bike will kill you if you are a wus. For example when you are cruising around 40-50MPH and gas it, will kick up a roost and pick the front end up off the ground. You can climb hills that you can't walk up. In my book that is beautiful! Check out the motorcycle pics link on my web site.:sun:

In contrast, I think Infinitis are unkind to the eyes.

Even a John Deer farm tractor can be a beautiful machine... If it's in it's own realm.
Any purpose built design looks functional... the true beauty comes with using that machine to it's design potential! Trust me... when your hitting a set of 2ft high whoops at 40 mph or jumping a 60 double... A Dirt Bike is a very Pretty Machine!
The aesthetics of the COBRA are not what most people call pretty....but what a beautiful machine!

uh...i have to agree with i_rebel why waste money for a day off offroading on a wannabe motor cycle..GET A TRUCK

why buy a truck to go off-roading when you cant jump it unless you spend A LOT of money to fix up the suspension and tires and evrything, but if you buy a dirtbike, it comes ready for most anything you wanna put it thru. i personally actually like evrything with wheels from dirtbikes and quads, to muscle cars, to high trucks or low trucks, and superbikes.

Good point but there are cars that u can do some moderate offroading with stock

Hummers
Land Rovers
Jeeps
WRX (rally)
Mitsu Evo 8 (rally)

ur a little bit judgemental, if a dirt bike was made 2 b a good lookin set of wheels it wouldnt have the name DIRT bike. and a dirt bike can go places that no car ever will b able 2 go... so dont come in 2 our chat room n dish our bikes. got it?

Dirtbikes = godly.... A bike itself is awsome, how everything works together to create this machine that is capible of doing so much.
