Pointy or Curvy?
 
All vote now...

Simple really, for me anyway, scratching the lanes the red K5 pointy works well for me. Having said that I've not ridden a curvy in anger.

Could do with some finer criteria eg handling, cost of ownership, smiles per mile :)

Looks wise I'd say the pointy in my opinion. Although not had the pleasure of riding a curvy

Even if I'm a pointy owner, I have to say that the curvy looks much better -for me anyway. Especially the frame. Havent ridden the curvy, so can't comment on carbs vs EFI etc.

I love the looks of the curvy, though I'd like the engine / handling characteristics (from what I've been told) of the pointy (Is there a way to put the point suspendion / engine in a curvy and get the est of both worlds?)

Both Suspension are naff... better off replacing it with a GSX or ZX6 shock. Change your fork springs and oil... even heavier oil makes all the difference...
And the engine things been done... speak to mike1234 about it...
