I just can't get my head around the cat-in-heat tail style.   Allways looks like the bike wants to back itself onto the hood of a pickup and grind itself on the Chevy logo.

I think I like it.  It's fugly as hell, but I'm diggin' the absurdity of it.  No me gusta the chromed frame though.

I'd ride it, after taking a rattle can to the frame.  Love to see the looks on some squids faces when I pulled up next to them at a stop light [thumbsup]

I thought for a terrifying moment that this was a 916 - one of the most beautiful bikes ever built....

Being a 996 doesnt make it any better,.. NO bike deserves this.  [puke]

Only thing I can think is that the horns in the back are wheelie sliders or some damn thing.

In this case, it's almost painful to shrug and say "to each their own."

I find it funny you say that, when I look at the photo of your bike in your avatar, you have to admit the ass end looks pretty high and more angular!
More so than the older style monster........   hmmmmmm  ;)

Interesting as a "gimmick" bike, but it is not all that attractive. Personal opinion, diamond plate has no place on any bike, ever.

well, like indurstrial grrrl had said, it's kind of a german thing... it's wacky, but I can't help but rubberneck that style of bike.  which, really, is the style of bike I first think of when I hear "streetfighter"
