That's the rear fender/hugger. It is connected to the bike on the swingarm side of the bike.JackoftheGreen wrote:What IS that thing over the rear tire? It's not connected to anything that I can see, surely that's just part of the track stand? They've chosen not to show us the streetside view.
I am with you on this one, I'm giving it an awesome for pretty much all that you said above. Keys for me: TAIL LIGHTS! and the touring capabilities on a wonderful sports bike. I cannot see the ugliness that others are seeing in it. AWESOME!*JackoftheGreen wrote:I think it looks great, the way the fairing flows into the tank, down into the saddle and then arches back up into the pillion -- there's a blending in there that manages somehow to look both futuristic and organic. Little cues like the lumbar pad suggest there's been some attention paid to comfort, though I've never sat on one myself. And did you notice how from the profile view that front fairing looks like sabre tooth tiger? Look again, you'll see it. Lastly, on styling, those tubular tail lights are by far one of the edgiest design choices I've ever seen, awesome!
I'm giving this an Awesome. I'm sure the performance and technology earns that by itself, but I just love those funky flowing modern lines and that's where I'm voting from.
