Default terminology ??

we have the curvys and pointys, but whilst the curvys are indeed curvy, are the pointys really pointy ?

just seems to me Suzuki softened the edges a bit, rather than commit to a hard edged design, look at the headlights, just rounded off in the corners



Perhaps this should be the pointy



but neither are anywhere near as pointy as one of these




So should it be Curvy and pointy(er) ?


Cheers Mark.

It's relative, so yes, they are.
