Default Pointy or Curvy?

I own a curvy, but I have to admit I think I prefer the looks of the pointy!

Don’t get me wrong, I love my curvy, and I doubt there is much difference in the ride in reality is there?? But to me the pointy is cosmetically more appealing.

What do others think?? Pointy or Curvy?

*sob* I got a great deal on a Pointy so I sold my curvy. Its sat in the garage for a month before I sold it. I could only ride the Pointy because of the insurance. Anyway I sold the curvy to a friend so I had a blast on it, as I was insured to ride other people's bikes (insurance eh!).

Anyway CURVY RULES. What have I done

I agree with you that the pointy looks better but I just like the ride of the curvy better and tbh I like the carbs better too. I liked the rear break of the curvy it makes the one on the pointy feel none existent. I almost gave up on the pointy rear break an hardly ever use it.

There is so little difference in the real world, it really don't matter.

FWIW I prefer curvy 'S' and pointy 'N'.

This may not be surprising.
