I was just about to go to bed, but one more post.  OMG this is an ugly bike.  It normally annoys me when designers really mess up the look, but this one actually makes me laugh.

It looks like some kind of insect. Is that the trend this year because they did the same thing with the new speed triple.

I really hope that's not the final version.  The RSV4 is a cool bike and that THING makes it look like CRAP.  And what part of it is naked?  Seems like they trimmed the side and front fairing a little and called it naked.  I've been looking forward to the Tuono V4 and this makes me  vomit.

The front nose cone, which seems as if it was pulled straight from an RSV4, had the top chopped off, and was bolted on, is what's killing it. With a better headlight it would look cool.

The intakes may need to go as well...hard to tell.

Agreed though...fugly.  vomit

The RSV4 is still  bow down though!

like the old one better, which seems to be the general trend lately.  I suppose that's a good thing as there are no new models out there I feel compelled to go buy...

I have a theory that The Transformers cartoons (an movies, now) have ruined motorcycle styling design for many years to come.

If you look at it for awhile, it looks like it just barfed a front wheel.

Agreed, which makes it all the more frustrating.

I actually like it. And it looks way better than the GenII Tuonos.   Gen I is still the best though.
