Am I the only one who hates the way the GSX-R looks?

I can't quite say what it is... is it the garish paint schemes made to look like race decals?
Is it the huge ugly exhaust pipes on the sides?
Maybe it's just the fact that I associate it as being the favorite bike of annoying Vietnamese kids around here who pop wheelies on main streets and expect us to think they are somehow cool... meanwhile they wear pink shirts and listen to R&B...

In sort no, I really don't like the front end...

Clearly what you think defines the metric of "coolness" by which all riders are judged by.

Who are we talking about here?
I really like the back end of the cbr600rr, I'd love to fit that onto my bike somehow.

the front end has grown on me, the tail section however just looks wrong. I'm not sure what it is, but from the back of the seat, to the end of the tail light is just ugly as sin.

I don't know...I'm sure some bikes are just plain ugly...but, to me, that's not one of them

If you clean the tail section up with an undertail kit, it really improves the look and line of it..IMO

the 2000's look fine, it's the new body style where they messed up on the tail (I'm talking about the top part by the way, not the undertail)

I don't like the paint job, and I don't like the 1000cc, but the 600 and 750 are sexy bikes otherwise.
