For me it didnt matter if it was a pointy or a curvy, as i dont like the looks of either without full fairings.

I bought a curvy as i found one that was dirt cheap, low mileage and in tip top condition. Had i found a pointy that ticked all the right boxes, i may well have bought that instead.

Buuuuut..... Curvy FTMFW!!!! :lol:

First clean after my 2500mile road-trip to Czech this summer. They still have a lot of good-looking life left in them!

This is the Marmite question for some.

I've had a few curvies and love them. I've now got two Krytens. One K5 naked and one K9 S fully faired. Naked is nice but is missing something. Can't put my finger on it but its no where near as good as my curvy naked.

As for the fully faired I have to admit I FECKING LOVE IT!!! I'm not a small bloke size wise. 18 stone(too many pies) 5'10" and fit snug as a bug on this one. Had Gixer, CBR and a few others. This does it all for me. So much so that I've gone and bought Fuel zaust and a power commandV for it too. Plus lots of other goodies for track days next year.

So in short naked get a curvy :smt097 for a faired one get an FI.

I see what you're saying but you've got it **** about face, clearly what you meant to say is:

Want a Curly Wurly one? Get a faired one, (without the tragic lowers - ugh! How horrid).

Want a Pointy Edgy one? Get a proper one - nekkid and proud. Like they say: Ride naked - sit up and take it like a man!

Faired curvy's look like something that just crawled out of a pond.
