Suppose that is worse than the streetlight size turn signals, the huge hole in the front fairing, and the erector set mudflap on the R6.

It's all a personal preferance. You buy what you like. I like a functional motorcycle. The 1125R is functional straight out of the box. Nothing needed to add (except an exhaust just cause it's too quiet)
It's got all the power I need, it's comfortable, it catches people's eye, and it's flat fun to ride. That's all I want, so I bought it.

You have dreams of being Rossi, so you got a new R6.

Didn't call you a squid. Just said that because it doesn't look like every other replica racer bike out there, all the squids won't be flocking toward it.

Yes, yes it worse than my blinkers, the rear fender and the huge hole in my front fairing to let air come screaming in. You ever seen a GP bike? And I may have a huge hole in my upper, but your upper itself is HUUUGE.

Yup, and it makes the ride great flying down the highway.

And again, it's huge for a reason. It's extremely quiet and next to no wind was hitting me. It was designed that way to flow the air around you.

Nothing against you, Cutty. I just think the bike is ugly as fuck. And you think mine is whack. So we're even.

I'm sure it was designed that way for that reason, but looks were out of the picture when they were designing it. I actually waited until I saw one in person before I started attacking the looks. They don't look any better in person.

I'm not denying that any Buell is an acquired taste. I think my XB is hideous from straight on and beautiful from the side and rear.

The XB is a decent looking bike. It's proportional in all areas, while the 1125 is far from it. I usually sit and stare at a bike from all angles and then cast my opinion. I'm OCD like that. For example, I'm waiting to see the new R1 in person.
