curvy or pointy?
 
This is a completely random question but which is better and why?

Are there any differences? (apart from age)

I want to see all your opinions please.

Pros and Cons etc.

Pointy or curvy?

Theres not really any difference in terms of what the bikes are like to ride. The pointy has IMHO a bette seating position as you sit a it higher and you get a slightly better forward view. I also think the pointy engine revs a little harder. The pointies have fuel injection where as the curvies have carbs, but the fuel injection is pretty basic IIRC.

Apart from that it comes down to which one you like the look of better. I woudlnt get to hung up on buying one or the other, just buy the best bike you can find for your budget. I've seen 2nd hand curvies up for silly money in dealerships, they seem to hold their price better than the pointies do.
