It's not that bad, the fairing just looks a bit clumsy. Almost like it's sitting on top of a bike that is too small for it, rather than being a part of the bike itself.

It looked absolutely awful behind the clocks inside the fairing when sitting on the bike. Did feel quite nice though, once sitting on it.

Serious disagreement here. I liked it. I think the exhaust looks awesome. True, the welds weren't up to much but it didn't detract from the overall offering. I wouldn't mind one in my garage.

Not sure the Buell looks that bad? I believe it offers a very exciting sporty ride who likes the power delivery and torque from a beefy V twin donk.;)

It really does look pants in the flesh.

Is it still a Hardley Davidson lump? If so, prepare to be underwhelmed....

personally i didn't think it looked that bad, it's no 999 but it's certainly a helluva lot better looking than this new kawasaki:

what the hell is going on down here?
I actually does look like its been thrown down the road. What happened under the peg there? I have done neater welds than that.

But, I noticed that too, when you sit on one, when I sat on the CityX, it feels good. Very good.
I really badly want a CityX actually.
Darling little brute of a thing.

I couldn't agree more... The new Kwak's are 'butt-ugly' at best!

Mind you, I couldn't make my mind up with the Buell 1125R - I took no pictures of it, so I guess that speaks for itself? Plus its got a rotax engine fitted :-s Mucho expensive if it goes wrong...
