I'd like to see what's under those gynormous covers on either side, they make the bike look like "Hanz und Franz". If you could ditch those then it might be a good looking bike, but as is it's got WAY too much plastic!

the radiators and coolant tank is under there. I'll take a pic sometime if i remember.
they are oversized on that bike. the fairing on the 1125R kinda made them blend in... on that one they stick out like a swolen thumb...

I do prefer the black frame/wheels and red accents.
And I am anxious to see how the new "updates" help economy and drivablitiy below 6K (tho it's really only below 4K that's an issue)
But dear god, they geared it DOWN?!?!?!?! It will be impossible to keep the front end down!

I think the scoops actually look good on that bike!

SICK!

Looks like some drunk mounted the saddle bags on the front instead of the back.

I don't have a problem with that bike's looks. I love the new look of the XB's.

All black and all bad ass.

If the side scoops were part of a fairing it would look way better! But just floating out there in thin air. Yuck!
