yup
Ugly, angular, vulgar. Exhaust is partically bad. Headlights are terrible. Wheels are [puke]

Exhaust is atrocious and wheels are absolutely terrible.
To me it looks nearly indistiguishable from the naked GSXR 750 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=43937.0).
exaust is 10x better than the diavel or the new monster 1100 by far.
Meh... I find both stock exhausts about equally uninspiring.
And though I'm sure someone out there loves the shit out of it, I really, really dislike that "throwing star" rear wheel that Honda likes to use on their single-sided swinger bikes.

agreed! that thing is pretty hideous.
Worst. Wheels. Ever.
I'm kinda liking the new Ninja 1000 (based on the latest Z1000).

A 100R? That should be awesome. :D
I kind of like it, the shuriken wheels and all. Although a swap for some VFR wheels would probably look better. It's nowhere near the degree of hideous the B-King and Gladius enjoy. GSR750 looks good too. I'd ride both if somebody gave 'em to me.
