Voted No...it is a hodge podge of a bike, copying different styles from the multistrada, gs beemer, KTM etc and looks odd, it doesnt look unique...maybe if it lost the stupid multistrada pointy thing below the headlight and had a nicer seat it would have a better chance...

It may well have a copper/ginger option like the new we-strom has...
