REally? I thought it had an elegance with a combination of a tourer that accented the cruiser lifestyle (flowing fender, highlighted vtwin engine, nice pipes).
Of course I think the vstrom is BEAUTIFUL! so what do i know?

wow.....the timing is really funny!!! I was at Arlen Ness shop yesterday in Dublin, CA. A salesman was doing a full court press on me about this bike. I think it is ugly as sin!!! He told me that this is the only touring bike in the world that could tour at a 125 mph.....My response......who would want to do that!!!!

On something that ugly, 125 would be a nice speed to cruise by on....so noone see you on it.

I like the back end but the front end is butt ugly. It needs a more traditional headlight...thats the first thing that sets the lines of a cruiser IMO.
Forgive my horrible paint skills...

I think it looks pretty, but the back end is weird because of the top case. I won't say anything though until i see it in person.
Seems like a race to kick the goldwing's butt.

I kind of like it. But, I think I'll reserve my final opinion for when I see it in person at the Cleveland bike show next weekend. Personally, I think it looks a lot like a BMW R1200LT.

This will be intended for those older folks who might be thinking about getting one of those goldwings or touring BMW's. This is something that my uncle would probably take time to look at.
It will probably cost an arm and a leg to get one too, so you guys don't have to worry about seeing to many of them on the roads.
I like the way they look, except for those honk'n huge blinkers they're throwing on them.
