They look good in race trim though.

I like it. Please tell me which of the current Jap bikes looks better? R1? Nope, they screwed that one up royally. ZX10? Nope. Gixxer? Nope. 1000RR? Not a chance.

The headlights are unusual, but they're better than the R1's beady eyes, or the Honda which looks like it ran into the back of a truck. You could always put body-colored tape over the lights if it's that big a deal to you. Plenty of stores sell headlight tape in different colors that doesn't reduce light output very much.
And at least it doesn't have inefficient undertail exhaust like the R1, or heavy, ugly dual cans like the Gixxer 1K. Last edited by Homeslice; 05-11-2009 at 12:16 PM.. |

When you design a bike that looks Japanese, you do what you have to to make it unique.

 @ SwanBMW really likes weird-ass headlights... i can't find pics now for the life of me, but a couple years back they experimented with a 1200C-based bagger that looked like a jumping spider

Blech!! Those headlights distract from everything that might be considered attractive on that bike.
