The Ugliest New Bike In Thailand?

[thaicbr]

Is this the Ugliest bike you can buy in Thailand. I present to you 'The Gusta Rumba'

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" By the way that isn't my eye I refer too!

[BSJ]

I considered one of these ugly back in the seventies. I've now changed my mind!

[thaicbr]

BSJ. them Jawa's were just cheap but functional. That Gusta is SOMETHING ELSE.... just not sure what

[Zzinged]

I remember someone posting about this a little while back, but here it is again. That Chinese bike is a very close rip off of the BMW's Scarver (F650CS)

I was very close to buying a scarver myself. It's a great bike for commuting/middle distance touring.

I do see a BMW propellor logo.

Is that the flux drive capacitor mounted to the rear wheel?

[neverdie]

Its a fairly ordinary looking unit....WOW UGLY.

Is that the fuel cap in the back of the beemer, its ugly too.

What will they think of next?

[Zzinged]

The fuel is stored under the seat. Oil is in the frame. Hence the rear mounted fuel cap. There's a storage bay in the space the conventional fuel tank should be, in between the forward grab handles for the passenger. The black strips on the frame are plastic frame sliders.

This as opposed to the svelte beauty of a 16 stone farang draped over a Honda Dream? At least the Rumba is trying to stray from the basic Japanese formula, looks OK to me.

pretty dam_n ugly...would refuse a free 1

Yep you definitely get what you pay for.

Styling is 'subjective'! Quality is not that great and gets worse the closer you get. On a model I checked out, brand new, the electrics functioned some of the time, paint was flaking off, alloy was pitted, forks suffered 'sticktion', it weighed a ton, but it impressed the hel_l of the locals!

And it was cheap as chips.

Gravelrash. Please go to your closest Optical store and get a) new glasses OR your prescription changed . because neither the Gusta or that Bmw are interesting or pleasing to the eye.

Rumba as ugly as BMW F650CS

I agree with you there AntR1, the headlamp sucks

[Dave the Dude]

The only 'saving grace'is that it does not have those d@mn ugly BMW silver metal ammunicion boxes thrown on each side.

Mee tooo Ant, I wouldnt want that pile of craaap laying around my yard, snakes living in it.....perhaps you could use it as a anchor for a floating patoon or something....but it'd probably rust away too quick.
