The current look (once again, in my opinion) borrows too much from current and previous YamaKawaHonzuki designs. It is nowhere near as distinctive as previous generations.

theres only so much you can do with plastic and aerodynamics. Ducati irks me more with their porsche-like insistance on a certain layout. Single swing, trellis, 90* twin. Almost every time. Then again most of the japs have kept to layout as well with a few notable exceptions.
