I don't like it. It was probably launched at EICMA earlier today. The back end looks almost as bad as the Katana and the equally points-to-the-sky back end of the Tiger Sport 660.

The new V-Strom 800DE was presumably launched at the same show today. It looks hideous, is 25kg heavier than the new XL750, has less power than the same, has a sky-high seat at 855mm I'll never be able to get on to and has even worse paint options! Both are on the Suzuki UK website already.

What are the designers smoking?
