I think I prefer curvy's..........
 
Maybe it's the recent knock to the head, but I'm finding more and more that I prefer the look of curvy sv's :o
I've never been one of those people that says pointy's are better etc:rolleyes: I've always liked the look of both bikes. But now I think I'm leaning more towards the older, smoother, curvy look. Everything just seems to flow together better on fully faired curvy's. I don't think the fairings on pointy's merge together so well

Curvy's are ok... but no where near as nice as the TL1000S. I think its the small forks and brakes. Put some after markets on and it looks good :D

this is true, curvies with GSXR front ends or similar conversions do look better. As do curvies with taller screens.

Although i admit that whilst practical, topboxes do not improve the appearance of curvies.

This is true but having seen the "saddlebags" that Bill from US showed on his pictures on the photos section - those I think are pretty good looking on his curvy

Curvy looks are better than the pointies.

However i'd prefer the fuel injection and better engine (ie no silly plastic clutch cover and silver engine etc)
