All bikes are going to the projector lamp set up. Look what Yami did to the R1.... Ugly as fuck. At least Zuke still has the single lamp setup witch is still ok.

But eventually the R6 and the CBR will be sporting the same lamps.

well I hope they're much better than the XB's version... they're HORRIBLE lights... though I've heard they've fixed that...

I don't mind the projector style... the Daytona's look good... but FUCKING A... Kawi and Yamaha need LOTS of work. Suzi isn't bad... though I still think the bike would look fuck'n tits with just the two bulbs and paint over that projector in the middle.

Lol, the Yamaha and Honda lights are very similar, just different angle. You didnt seem to say anything about the Honda

Then wouldnt it just look like all the other 600's with split lights? I still like the Suzi bc its different.

I know everyone and their mother loves the Honda, but I don't. From a front view it looks like it's buck-toothed. The 05-06 were much better-looking.

I dont mind the Honda headlights. They look mostly normal. But I agree that the 05's were better looking. Always liked them.

The lights on the XB, while projectors, fucking SUCK. I can't see shit at night. Buell did recall them...which I had done. That made them marginally better.

Honestly, before the recall, riding at night at 35 mph was down right DANGEROUS.

But I knew the lights sucked before I bought it. I did my research. And I don't ride at night very often.
