yes bike design has come on leaps and bounds in the last 20years but every now and again the designers will throw an ugly fish into the market place, i dont know about you but i hate alot of new designs first off but they do grow on you, i personaly hated the 1st gen R1 but now i thing it looks ace? i hated bikes with stubby cans? an exhaust should be up by the pillion footpeg where it belongs! but now i own a bike with a stubby can? weird tastes eh?

No, you can't really polish a turd. And trying to make a naked bike aerodynamic is just that
