I just don't get it... if it's this ugly, is it attractive?

This one looks to have been inspired by the Tesla Cybertruck. Or perhaps vice-versa.
give someone a idea and away we go

The spinning propeller story has tremendous sticking power but it's not the correct one. The logo stems from the company's founding in Bavaria and the state colors of Bavaria. I don't expect to reach many people with the true story behind the BMW roundel but if you read this you will know the the real story.

Does the BMW logo represent a propeller? That’s a myth that’s been doing the rounds for 90 years. And why are the state colors of Bavaria the wrong way round? Read about the background and the real story behind the BMW badge here.

That beemer in the original post is indeed homely, IMO.
How could a company that designed and built this:
....also design and build this?
"New and different" does not always mean "better".
Sometimes, "new and different" is simply...."ugly and undesirable".

My wife, "Hey Lucy!", thinks it looks like a thug in a tuxedo.
I think it looks like someone from the 1930's being asked to draw the bike of the future, or maybe they did dig up some old engineer's sketch book from before WWII. Looks too awkward for me but I ride a Victory Vision and it garners similar reactions when you consult people's tastes in motorcycles. Like the Vultus, it will appeal to a certain, small, market segment that will pay a lot for it. Then it will become an interesting item at bike shows for the next 200 years. For better or worse it is a matter of aesthetics, and beautifulness and ugliness are alike, considerations.
The motorcycle market demographic is changing before our eyes, faster than we have ever witnessed.
Personally I am more concerned with being able to ride an ICE without having people chastise me for burning fossil fuels in a few years. At least this one still has a gasoline engine...

Not crazy about the bike but it looks a whole lot better than that ugly Cybertruck. It's almost enough to make the Pontiac Aztek look good. Almost. At least a little less ugly but only by comparison.

I have to remember this one, for next time my wife have a comment about my shape.
"I'm in shape; round is a shape.
Ugly orbit it is very BMW ... the classic lines, pin stripes, black glossy paint and even twin kidneys are 100 percent beemer.
any engineer should see that
