By the way the tank on the Kawi looks good. Looks like it's wider up top so that it will contact your inner arm during cornering, which helps you have a feel for the bike. I don't know why Suzuki has been doing the opposite lately.

Totally 100% agree with you. But that doesnt matter to the squids who attend bike night at their local spot. Can't see the bike when your riding it....

Honda's 600 look is loooong too drawn out. I loved the 03 when it came out, and even sorta liked the 05(even though its uncomfortable as fuck). But now its getting too played out. Come on Honda, you can only hold on to a design so long, when other brands are changing every two years.

This was the first bike that i ever loved.... and the very bike that got me into sportbikes. I'd like to ride one one day to say thank you....

I like the side view...well once the exhaust and rear fender are taken care of with aftermarket pieces.

I don't really like the front view as much.

Overall though I like it...should be a screamer too.
