From the MCN site... here

Looks pretty damn good I reckon.. Shame about the fugly exhaust though

Like that a lot! first mod needed - TAIL TIDY!

What's good about that?
First job exhaust
Think I would prefer a 2007 given a free choice

Front indicators and mirrors look awful, tail end looks horrible, exhaust is dreadful.

2005 model's still the best looking IMO.

Like the look, but not keen on that really high tail piece - looks like it's had a rear ender IMO. Exhaust is vomit-inducing but a new slip on and it should look fine. Tail tidy manufacturers are going to be rubbing their hands with glee..

Bloody awful!

I like it, could be the bike to have next year if they've vastly improved on the dodgy handling of this years model.

Fugly exhaust.
But then most modern bikes have fugly exhausts.

Bit of a hijack here, but I saw the pics for this and the new Blade here as well - why the hell does the number plate have to be suspended about a foot away from the real back end of the bike?

Seriously - is it required by law for the manufacturer to make them look daft?

The only advantage of having the number plate like that, is that it helps stop crap getting thrown up onto the back of the bike. As soon as you fit a tail tidy you can you end up having to clean the bike more often...
