I ride an NC30 and reckon that the single sided swing arm looks bloody grouse! My brother has the opposite view, believing that it visually wrecks an otherwise good looking bike. So, all arguments about functional benefits aside, do you find single or double sided swing arms more aesthetically pleasing?

Single sided swingarms look great.Speshly with the 3 spoke wheels ala the 916.

One side of the single sided swingarm looks good

I don't give a toss about how they look - but changing the rear wheel on the R65 is a bit of a giggle after so many years of axles,spacers and chains.

SSSA does it for me although getting the spanner on the adjustment can be a mess....

No alignment concerns and looks good....
