Anyone else find the Husqvarna 801 weird visually?

I was wondering if anyone else, other than me of course, finds that the Husqvarna 801 looks a tad weird? I feel like it's got something to do with the forward-sloping design lines because the look doesn't appear balanced or something. I think to account for this, what they tried is to add tank extensions? But then it still looks odd for me... Not into it. I guess everyone just got a different taste.

Nah you not alone at all. The Husqvarna 801's forward sloping lines and tank extensions definitely give it a unique look that surely not everyone vibes with. It seems like they were aiming for a futuristic aesthetic, but the proportions can feel off, especially compared to more traditionally styled bikes.

I get they were aiming for that modern rally or adventure vibe, but those tank extensions feel more like a patch than a solution. From some angles it looks fine, but from others it's like the bike is permanently leaning into a sprint it never started, its definitely not the cleanest silhouette for me but yeah, design is subjective

Totally get what you mean. A friend of mine got one a while ago, and I found myself hanging out in his garage, just looking at it and trying to figure out what seemed off. It's almost like the front is raring to go while the back is still catching up. But he's into it,says it rides like a dream. It really proves that what's odd for one person can be ideal for someone else
