The styling of this bike really blows....
A matter of personal taste, which of course you're entitled to have, Jackson.

...Shorter wheelbase...
What?! You've got somethin' against good handling motorcycles or somethin'??? Or, maybe you haven't heard that the longer the wheelbase and more raked out the forks are on these things makes 'em handle "slower"?!
Quote:
...chunky motor...
Once again, a matter of opinion, though I have to admit it might be kind'a sort'a "chunky".

...buttugly radiator...
Trust me, I've seen FAR worse lookin' radiators on some other "naked" bikes out there! But yeah, as I think Al said above, it probably would have looked better IF it was placed between the two "down tube" frame rails alright.

It obviously wasn't designed by someone who knew or cared about the U.S. market.
Well, if you ask ME, the ONLY American they should have consulted about the design of this overall pretty sharp lookin' motorcycle was ME!!! Because the ONLY thing in MY estimation it REALLY needed were those FRIGGIN' FINS, that I keep mentioning to everybody's consternation around here!!!
(but MAYBE you have a point about us Yanks afterall...YEP...'cuz I'm thinkin' most Americans STILL can't seem to wrap their little heads around the concept that a "Cruiser" CAN and SHOULD HANDLE almost as well in the TWISTIES as any other genre of motorcycle can!...but try explaining THAT to most Harley riders out there, HUH?!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
