    No, it lacks the muscular appearance up front of the RC8 and fails to nail the ultra-light high tail streetfighter look in the rear.

    On the whole the styling just doesn't push my buttons, it looks like it's trying to be different just for the sake of it while still following the 2008 trends of the big brands.

    Still, it's a very personal thing, no two people ever see the looks of a motorcycle in quite the same way. F'rinstance, the 1098 doesn't do it for me nearly as hard as it seems to for most.

    I like it even though I don't like the headlights and indicator/mirrors (or the exhaust but that's an easy fix). Always like bimota's, especially the Tesi (now Vyrus) just cos it was so different and an attempt at mass producing engineering purity.

    i love it. and the ktm.
    have always prefered straight hard clean lines to soft flowing ones.
    i can't wait till car design moves away from their current bubble aesthetic-someone keeps dialing up the "melt" button in CAD. as it is i have to keep buying cars from the 80's to avoid the ovoid maha

    dare i say it ,i know i might be committing social suicide here but..... i think the front of that bike looks like a....... hyosung..... eg the stacked lights ,but obviously its more likely the other way round being the hyosung copying the designs of the DB7.

    Except the current Hyosungs, that have been around for the last four years or so, were themselves copied from the Ducati 999/749 stable.
