My god. How ugly are the new bikes being presented this year? How samey?!?
It's a crying shame that there is only one bike that I like the looks of - that's the Ninja HR2. And I mainly like that because it's clearly nuts!
- The Honda RCV - looks like a video game designer's wet dream. WTF is with that exhaust too?
- The new R1. Not bad looking, I kinda like the new shape. But not lust-worthy material
- The new Beemer S1000XR: Multistrada rip off. And the MT-09: another "adventure" bike. Fugly. Same goes for that "Stradale" thing too. And the KTM... (although that last one's a bit unfair, as that's their style)
- That new Guzzi MGX-21. Yeugh. That is all.
The only new, pretty bikes are Aprilia's offerings: The Tuono and RSV. But that's because they've retained most of their shape
In short, there is no new bike that makes me slobber. I'll go back to my issue of Practical Sportsbikes, and slobber over the mechanics the 80s and 90s gave us. FZR1000 EXUP? Yum yum!
