This looks to be fairly squarely aimed at the younger market wanting a sporty looking machine.......doesnt look too bad actually,specially with the under body exhaust.

I think it will be pretty succesful too.........whaddaya reckon?

I think the un-faired version looks better.

I think it looks pretty good for it's target audience.

I.e newbies wanting a cheapish but good looking and sensible first bike.

It does look better than your average CB500 etc.

Thumbs Up from me, although I wouldn't own one...

Wow, almost as nice as the fully faired GS500.

Looks a bit like a Duke ST3 from the side

I'm not a fan.

It looks a bit cluttered above the exhaust, and the silver and gold clash. Otherwise I think it's pretty good looking.

Looks good to me. I hate the headlight on the unfaired model.

I think the verdict's out on the rear end. Why can't it look as sharp as the Z750 or 2004 ZX-6. Are there other picutures available of the bike? At the moment, my opinion is that it's not quite sure what it wants to be. I'd like to see it in green!

At last - curves. Thumbs Up

Gonna start muscling in on the SV650's bit of the market, it'll be interesting to see how they get on.

I think it's really smart. My last bike was a fully faired 2005 GS500 but if this had been around, I think I would have bought this instead.

According to MCN, it is better than the SV. Who'd believe MCN though, with "Death of Biking" headline and the rest of the tosh they print?

Anyway, it is better than the SV, because it's a Kwak. Mr. Green

I'll wait until you lot start crashing them then get an engine from the breakers to bung in my KLE.

Looks like the next generation GPZ500 to be honest. Looks at a distance that the fairing would stand up to a crash better than those stupid side-pods they fitted to the unfaired one (which incidentally, I think looks hideous).

Would look better matt black, although this is true for virtually all motorcycles.

I have been dying to see a faired foto. Bye bye to my plans to buy a fully faired sv650s! Unless the kwaks start falling apart...
