Seriously... I like that Kawasaki too. Then again, I dig pretty much anything out of the ordinary.

Judging by the title I thought you had started to like the look of Suzuki's ugliest bike to date.

Then again even Ducati, who can generally be relied upon in the style department, came up short with their effort:

Actually I might actually buy a V-Strom or Multistrada. The V-Strom is admittedly ugly, but the Multistrada actually doesn't look too bad to me....
The wife says that the V-Strom is actually the best looking big-ugly-bike that I have been looking at :laughing:

Hey, the V-strom may not be a looker but man is it comfortable. I seriously hope Kawasaki makes this bike easy on the "O Ring" when it comes to long trips.
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.

Man I must have weird tastes. I love the look of the V-Strom. And the Buell is mighty nice looking too.


I don't like the Kawi or the other one (the one with the 'George Lucas' headlight) though. The Kawi one looks like it's too tall, like a dog straining to...well..yah.
Have fun on the open /¦\

I know, I was surprised too.

Well, for whatever reason I rather like the Kawi. I look at it from the side and it seems animalish to me, the headlight could use some work... A snake. That's what it reminds me of
