Haven't seen them before. Only the new r6 with the underseat exhaust in MCN (think it was that). Exhaust is like some of the Moto gp bikes. Thumbs Up

Gorgeous I might have to trade my 01 in!

However what were they thinking when they did the exhaust like a sawn off piece of metal? and the front mudguard could have been more "curvy" oh well.

Still nice though Thumbs Up

What is going wrong with modern day motorcycle design? Maybe it's going to take some time to grow on me but bikes no longer have the 'oh-my-god-ride-me' appeal that they did a few years back.

It seems all angular this, anugular that, mixed with crap paintjobs - and what's going on with exhausts these days?

It looks like it's designed to have underseat exhausts, judging by the tail piece and the space between that and the numberplate.

I thought the same G, looks like it should have the twin outlets like the R1.

Thought it looked quite good until I saw the exhaust. Sick

Dont like the head-on view, the rest is okay, dodgy exhausts though.

Paintjobs imo are fine, apart from the Suzuki-esque white and light blue. Think that's pants and makes it look tacky.

I agree with G and Jay, it looks as though it's meant to have underseat exhausts and the resultant lights and plate on a stick look is seriously shit.

Every single manufacturer seems to think pointier = better... not convinced personally. I think I'd probably have a current R6 over that.

The curvy SV's waaay nicer too. I'm not biased or anything.

The old R6 is the sexiest ever, my personal preference is red and white with yellow spoked wheels ad chromed rims. Proper pimp. Cool
