There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Wow. That is fugly. Really fugly. The f word, obviously, being "functional". As in, it's really fu(nctional but you wouldn't want to be seen in the same county, let alone riding the bike because it's so damn u)gly

Considering what I ride, I'm not in any position to comment on the aesthetic qualities of the fairing in question. However... some of you should really take a look at your reflections before passing comment on what looks good or is pleasing to the eye. Also, someone has pointed out that the fairing is functional and does a good job of what it was designed for, another thing some of you need to look a little closer to home and assess.

Just saying

Lozzo, you're missing the point. For us aesthetically-challenged individuals, the last thing we want is to add to the problem by riding something that looks like somebody has punched it's face. Repeatedly.

No, no and again no.

Us aesthetically challenged people should totally relate to this bike and thank the deity of our choice for one thing; when we stand next to a fugly bike WE are the ones who look good. Wtf do you think I bought a Versys?

I stand corrected. Your Versys is worse!
