Good question DUDE , obvious difference is the fairing and lights but I think the earlier bike has a better shaped tank.....

I ended up with a blue foxeye which I love, but really wanted a red black and silver boxeye. I think the boxeye fairing suits the bike better.

7 votes each at the moment, which surprises me. I thought the sleek, cartoon-ish race face of the Foxeye would have been the popular choice.
The Boxeye is my preference, it’s just more honest about what the bike is… and most things I like tend to look more right as time goes by. I even like the look of the Honda CG125.

In my case, the Foxeye was my real first bike after doing DAS for my licence and I guess you tend to gel with your first bike more deeply and then nothing else beats it for you.
That's what happened with me anyway.

Sort of like when a duck hatches and it imprints on the first thing it sees

.
The only reason they changed the fairing was because of the crap lights on the boxeye otherwise there would of only been slight cosmetic changes with the bike every couple of years.

Fair play, that does look really nice.
I do like the black - gives it a real stealth look.
....and room for a box of Milk Tray under the seat??

...have to say my old blue Foxeye still looks great with my silver thou though.

I voted foxeye, I do like the look of the boxeye though, but it was a foxeye I had when I still had the 600 and I thought it looked a bit better.

In case you wondered what I was on about all I could see on your post was "which one looks better" and a smiley face,nothing else,maybe I'm doing something wrong or there's something missing on my device.

You're doing it wrong fella - look above the post and you'll see a vote. Tick the one you want

It's just a poll, which do you think looks better boxeye or foxeye? I think boxeye looks better. The bike has a bit of an 80's look to it and the square headlight and flatter tank is more in keeping with that than the angular headlight and tank on the foxeye.

It was the look of the boxeye that originally caught my attention and made me think what a great looking, in a slightly retro way, bike it is.

I wasn't aware that there was a foxeye update to the model until I saw and bought mine.

I think the different look suits both, but I voted foxeye cos that's what I've got
