Why?
People said the same thing about Hyundai and KIA. 40 years earlier they said the same about Honda and Toyota.

Im sure every first bike that the jap comps released were just super awesome.
Its called progress. Yes they have been making cheap "mopeds" for years but they are just now getting into bigger bikes. Completely different field. They use what they can get a hold of. South Korea is a small country with a psyco twin attached to them. |

But I see that no one is touching the comment about Honda and Toyota

I don't know about Honda in the early days but I remember in the early 70's we had a Toyota and that was a great car. My grandparents also had a Datsun during that time which was also a good car.

Hondas tended to go the same way, in the early days. Edges of hoods and bottoms of door panels were the first to go, followed shortly thereafter by fenders.

If the issue is looks, just put an aftermarket fairing on the SV.
