Both S models look stupid with the big fairing and 2 little weedy fork legs protruding from the it.

I reckon the TL-S looks big and brutish as a big bike should, not as good as a GSXR750/1100M on that score but pretty good.

I agree that full faired curvies are butters. imo the best looking SV is the half faired curvy followed by the naked pointy. Both look great, and all fully faired SV's are butters, especially fully faired curvies.

Naked pointies look like velociraptors.

Nah the best ones are the naked curvies. Why would you buy a bike with such a good looking frame and engine and want it covering up?

Been done to death this has.

All personal preference. To me the curvey looks feminine and pointy masculine. The half faired just look like they've lost the lower fairings. Naked or fully faired pointy for me.

im getting a bit confused with this half faired/naked curvy business.
the best looking type of SV imo is this

So is this considered a naked or half faired, or is half faired when there is some stupid little belly at the bottom?

that would be half faired, the 'stupid little belly' is a belly pan (i think...)

Oh yeh you're right, I thought that was the half faired, but got confused when YC said naked curvies were the nicest cos they look like this

Not a fan of circular headlamps but it is nice seeing all that V-twin.
