Will let you make your own minds up :eek:

Sorry but the new blade is pig poo ugly.

WOT HE SAID:lol1:

I have no doubt that this will be a brilliant bike to ride but why did they style it like that ????????:wonder:

Was going to take the plunge and get the new blade next year but think i will go for this years pre reg or maybe the new gsxr1000. Very dissapointed.:cuckoo:

I'm sure it'll be a grower in the looks dept.

Ive yet to find somebody who likes it ! got to say some of the recent japanese styling is a bit dodgy to say the least.

looks like a gixxer from behind and an r1 up front , o dear a hybrid wannabee that wont do much for the majority { thumbs down }

It may be as ugly as the new Subaru Impreza which will no doubt turn into poor sales for dealers. If you can put up with the looks you might be able to negotiate a cracking deal when buying one.

i like it, though it could do with a tail tidy as the plate will look daft

the colours let the bike down, at the show last month it looked ace in white & black I think it was

Actually - I like it in the black, looks poor in the red though.
