the old bike is curvy and very pretty, the new one is Pointy and not so nice in my opinion (let the fighting commence)

Couldn't have put it better myself (thanks for the tattoo compliment, by the way)

curvy's are the SVs that were produced from 99-02 and 03 onwards were redesigned and are usually called pointies. Obviously people are deluded when they say the curvy's are prettier, they are just stuck in the past bless 'em. Obviously the pointies are gorgeous.

Naked curvy bit nicer looking than naked pointy.

Faired pointy much nicer looking than faired curvy.

I ride a naked curvy BTW. or I would if HEL would send me some brake lines that actually fitted!!!
