How about another UJM? The Honda CB1000R. Not as classic as the Kwak ZRX, but might be a bit more polarizing.

Another UJM, that's a good idea, although I'm going to go "classic" with your idea and put up a Bonneville T100 then (I've been meaning to put one up for a while now and you inspired me to do it this week).

2011 Triumph Bonneville T100

The Honda CB1000R will make an appearance soon (if you want it up) as it's an intersting "new UJM" model as well.

How about the Victory Vision...it has love it or hate it potential...

Kawasaki Versys...another in the love it/hate it camp...

Just some food for thought...

Later.

+1 Nice suggestions. The Versys is especially interesting. It looks better these days, but you're right, it's still iffy enough to be love/hate.

I've heard both statements about the Suzuki Gladius...the replacement for the SV650...or the Suzuki B-King...

I don't think they sold enough B-Kings to make it worthwhile bothering to hate them!

(...and no, I can't hate anything with the Hayabusa engine, but my legs didn't fit behind the bulges on the B-king tank, so the bike was useless to me.)

Great idea with the Suzuki Gladius... I'll put it up as soon as they release the 2012's, which should be in a week or two. :D

For now, I'll put up what "looks" like a Gladius (a 2012 Ducati monster!)
