I have a theory about what's the best motorcycle to own:

The uglier it is (new, not modified or neglected) the more you'll enjoy riding/using it.

Ugly bikes

Example: vstrom or any ADV tourer

Example 2: Goldwing or any large tourer

Example 3: anything made by BMW w/shaft drive

Attractive Bikes:

Example 1: Any un-faired or partial faired HD

Example 2: Any super sport.

Rule exemption:

Supermoto. They're uncomfortable, unreliable, high maintenance, terrible above 65 mph for any length of time, but they are incredibly fun!

People own any of these bikes for their own reasons. If you simply like how looks, that can be enough reason in itself. You will, however, find yourself using your bike more or less depending on how much you enjoy riding it/how you intend to ride it.

As an owner of a hideously ugly V-Strom, I take no offense whatsoever! She's pretty in my eyes for her capability, comfort and low operating expenses. She's kind of a magic carpet to new experiences to me.

I think you have it spot on.
