A retro beauty or a dog?

I've just seen this and am sorry to say that whatever it's performance is like etc. I can't help feeling that the styling department have gone to lunch! Shame really. What do you all think?

I was in my local Triumph dealer recently and it was getting a few admiring glances - albeit far less than the Rocket III.

Personally I quite like the cafe racer look and with Ducati entering the market with a few of their retro racers I can see them becoming fairly popular with members of the biking community that can remember when Randy Mamola wasn't just the Eurosport Pit Bloke.

I saw one at a do recently and thought it looked excellent in the flesh. Of course if I had one it would end up modded, but thats just me Laughing
