Quote: OH, and Ian. For your information, "Jap Crotch Rockets" almost ALWAYS have FULL bodywork that covers their mostly WATER-COOLED engines!!!
(..."jap crotch rocket"....GEEEZ!!!)
I don't say it much on here but I am a firm believer that friend don't let friends ride rice.
OK some kind of naked jap thing.
I still say you're WAY off in your assessment of the bike's appearance, Ian.
Once again, you DO realize don't ya that the Brits were making "Cafe Racers" with that abbreviated tail section and lowered handlebar placement years before the Japanese started copying that style for mass-production...RIGHT?!
Those Brit versions were just as ugly, in some cases uglier. Hated that square Triumph gas tank. But still not Jap.
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder...or is the the beholer? oh well either way. What I like and what anyone else likes doesn't have to be the same, nor should it, we need diversity. You like the new Norton style, good for you, I don't and that's OK too. It looks like it has great suspension but really ugly style to me except that power train.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains. Eat right ,Exercise ,Stay fit, Die Anyway!
