The silver one actually looks quite good here, though i notice they kept the camera away from the can most of the time!!

Yeah the white/silver one looks ok there.

I almost threw up when they had a close up of the exhaust 1½ mins in!

Stunning, I want one!

Even if the zaust is a bit dodgey, Only costs about £250 to change that and i'm sure you could haggle the dealer to throw one in!

I think it looks good. There's not a great deal they can do with modern sports bikes nowadays, so I suppose distinction is ahead of beauty, but I actually like some of these details. I don't mind the exhaust either, certainly wouldn't put me off buying one - who cares what the exhaust looks like once they're sat on the bike anyway?

I quite like the idea of the power modes on it.......rocker switch allowing to switch between 3 settings, the last being a reduced power seiing that aparantly will make it as easy to handle as the sv in wet or tricky conditions........Only what I read in MCN

I dont, this is what my right wrist is for. Its just more electronic gadgets and gimickery and I dont want it.

I suspect I'm in the minority though as some people will think this is latest thing and its important to have the latest road bike etc etc.

Yeah, it's newer so it MUST be better!

That was proved not to be right when they changed the curvy to the pointy!
