cool, I have a pointy, the one I prefer out of the 2.

The tank on the pointy makes it look like a Quasimodo bike all hunch backed with irregular lines. Just out of proportion and no elegance to it.

I have to admit when looking at bikes before taking my test i hated the look of curvy's and much preferred the shape of the pointy, but when i actually got round to looking at bikes i fell in love with my curvy (altough i have never seen a pointy up close). I like them both equally, but the pointy does tempt me as i wouldnt have to bother with the choke giving me problems on a cold morning!

To estalbish if many people have used both and whether if they had a curvy then a pointy, would they go back to a curvy, and vice versa obviously.

Just reply with your opinions really.

They're both bikes at the end of the day... I had a CG125 before SV and I would go back to that if funding and availability meant I had to... before the CG was an EXUP and that would be fine too.

Ride whatever you can, if I trashed my curvy and there was a pointy available cheap enough... I'd have it to hack around on. I wouldn't want to keep hold of a fuel injected bike for too long though.
