I actually like it, but I guess i'm in the minority here... I'm just a sucker for progressive design. If it weren't for progressive designs, we'd all be riding clones of bikes from the 40's... (oh wait, many of us do :laughing: :wink: )

I think they got a good blend of aerodynamics, retro-future styling (Seats are nice, as are the integrated panniers and exhausts.) The front side panels (imo) shouldn't be quite as pointy as they are, but that's my only real beef w/ the style. It's got something of the old Formula racebikes about it...

The Maxim is just plain oversized and ugly, however.
