Interesting front. Not pretty, just interesting Thumbs Up

Exhaust looks like something ripped off a car wreck like a twisted door panel or something. Absolutely hideous. I quite like the look of the light on the other hand

That's pretty damn ugly in places. Honda need to shoot their design team.....in the face.

I sit in the traffic lights with one every day for the past 2 weeks. Nice looking, the chap on it was saying this morning that hes loving the ride again.

I think it looks good, miles better than the new Hornet. And I think that exhaust actually suits the bike, unlike the CBR1000

Why didn't honda name this bike hornet 1000?

I like the looks of that bike alot, but like stated, alot of these bike exhausts are starting to get a bit fugly, and surely manufacturers know we buy them and rip them off for an aftermarket one?
That said they have to filter the gases, but whats wrong with the old can design, surely it worked?

Boy, they're really reaching in the looks department nowadays. I'll stick with my cruiser. You just don't find many ugly cruisers.

Fugly. Fugly, fugly, fugly.

Did I mention it was fugly?

I like it.

And if I wasn't so set on going back to twins, I would consider it for my next bike.

Big power, nimble and lightweight, good around town, and can even do the odd trackday.

Only bummer is the lack of wind protection for longer rides.

Can't say I'm a fan of it, its like it wants to be a naked gixxer.

Add an extra 100cc and I'd hit it though..

I think it looks rather nice tbh, and whats an exhaust. We all just stick aftermarket ones on afterwards anyway. And youll notice most of the maufacturers turning to large ugly down low middle mounted pipes. I really do like those lights!

I rode it on the weekend, purely on the basis of going into a dealer for a different reason and seeing it for the first time with a WTF expression on my face. I rode it back to back with a Speed triple and a B-King.

It's a naked blade with the engine retuned for more torque instead of bhp. It wheelied everywhere and attacked every corner like it was a 250.

I dislike "pretty bikes", and like styling which grabs, or even offends people's aesthetic tastes. This ticks the boxes even though many people find it drop dead gorgeous. Bit of a marmite bike I suppose - not that I care, I buy a bike for me, not to satisfy anyone else.

I am very, very tempted.
