I think I am going to suggest to my dealer to stock up on old tanks (ok that sounds strange), because there are going to be some people that just might get turned off by the new look. On the other hand, it just might attract more people that are looking at other brands of bikes.
But then again, maybe that won't be possible, maybe the '08s we get here in the U.S. will have fuel injection.
As far as the mirrors, the stock mirrors stink, but like a few other things about our bikes, it gives us the opportunity to change things and make them our own.
