I always wanted to like the old one, but just couldn't quite get there.

Well it's the Japanese bike futuristic, sharp edge type of look and it probably does a good job at that

I had the original for 4 years. Awesome bike. Both looks wise and performance wise. With a decent suspension under it, it was a wolf in sheep's' clothing....

I'm sure the new one will be as well.
You can always mod it.

I came "this" close to buying the really nice 03 Z1K below. It was either the Duc or the Z...price of the Z was a few hundred cheaper and had half the miles, but I had always wanted a Duc. I like the looks of the new one. Well, except for the mufflers...those suck.

I like it! I nearly bought a leftover 2008 last fall. The bike seemed light when you pulled it upright from the sidestand, which is a good feeling for those of us intimidated by heavy inline 4's.

the original rocked! Like anything the new one will grow on people, hell I even am starting to want a 696/1100 and i hated it more than anything when it came out. the initial shock is what gets people.

Dear Japan:
STOP DOING THAT TO THE EXHAUST.

Everyone
The black one strikes me as yet another Brutale knockoff. The rest are aiite, your typical insectoid Japanese styling.

Agreed.
I also noticed how much heavier looking this latest version looks. There is a lot more visual mass.
