OMG look at that swing arm.

Hmm, is it just me or does it look like they chromed some fat babies leg and stuck it on the back of the bike for a swingarm? Just looks kinda bulbous and stubby. [laugh]
I'll withhold judgement till the official release. :angel:

I've given it a few days to sink in (as it took me a couple of years before I started to really like the 749/999 design).

Based just on cosmetics - I know I'll love it in person. Except for those fugly mirrors- those have to go. I slightly prefer the 748/916 front, and the 999 tail. But it works for me.

I'm sure the performance is incredible. But 160+ rwhp? I've got no business on one - I'll keep the 748 runnin' just fine instead, thank you.
