The rest of it isn't too bad, but the tank is a deal breaker.

supposed to offer more space for tucking as well as a nice blace to park your booty

Dont Gixxers have a dimple in the tank to place your head when you tuck?? Same shit as Kawi.

The shape of the tank is supposed to give you better feedback and and to help with your lean so you can better grip the tank.

Yeah I say throw away class leading engine and newly designed forks because the headlights are queer and the tank has a indention...

What you will see more of are the tailights

Just being an ass...

Better than the Honda's lights, IMO.
I know everyone and their mother loves the Honda, but I don't. From a front view it looks like it's buck-toothed. The 05-06 were much better-looking.

By the way the tank on the Kawi looks good. Looks like it's wider up top so that it will contact your inner arm during cornering, which helps you have a feel for the bike. I don't know why Suzuki has been doing the opposite lately.

Totally 100% agree with you. But that doesnt matter to the squids who attend bike night at their local spot. Can't see the bike when your riding it....

Honda's 600 look is loooong too drawn out. I loved the 03 when it came out, and even sorta liked the 05(even though its uncomfortable as fuck). But now its getting too played out. Come on Honda, you can only hold on to a design so long, when other brands are changing every two years.

This was the first bike that i ever loved.... and the very bike that got me into sportbikes. I'd like to ride one one day to say thank you....

You forgot to mention that the queer tank shape feels bad and and holds less fuel, and the seat is a piece of vinyl over plywood.

exactly... I think it's HIDEOUS! seriously... in the top 10 of ugliest bikes all time

now the performance numbers are sexy as hell... but who ever designed the looks... needs to be shot then hung... then burned.
