I'm Blade fan and these just don't do it for me I'm afraid.
Honda/Yamaha - Yamaha/Honda clones - all pointy noses and sharpedged little bums (at least the Gixxer has a bit of personality). And as for the seat - your perched on top of the beggar, like you are just along for the ride rather than a part of the ride.

Don't get me wrong, they look good if you like that style - and they are as solid as they come...

... but I'm kinda glad they've reduced the 'Fireblade' to little more of a footnote in their decals - for me it's just not a FireBlade it's a CBR RR.
