The early/mid 90's were the best years for Jap bike styling -- it's all gown downhill since then.
My '01 GSXR was by far the best looking sport bike I've ever owned!!! I loved everything about that bike... everything!!! My '06 has grown on me with extensive changes, of course. I will be keeping my bike for at least another year or two, until Suzuki can come up with a different looking bike... although an aftermarket exhaust, some different plastic and white rims MIGHT help.
