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.

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.
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.

The projectors lights on the gixxer are good. Very bright.

I always liked the GSXR. The lights look fine to me. The cyclops look never bothered me.

The only issue with them is that the lights bounce with the suspension. The slightest bump in the road you can see the light bounce on the road ahead of you. I was riding behind a buddy in a cage and he said my lights(on low beans of course) was bouncing constantly.
