    At the risk of losing my man card... I kinda dig it!!

    I like the "Avant garde style with Japanese Anime.." Pretty spot on. Naked bikes should be wicked and sharp edged.. IMHO

    It doesn't seem any worse than the Ducati streetfighter, they look similar to me.

    First thing I thought too.

    Maybe it will be accepted this go-round.

    The more I look at the Z, I think "ugly" is harsh. It actually flows pretty well considering the minimal amount of body work, and although I don't particularly care for the styling I can see and appreciate what they're going for. On paper, I really like this bike and I bet it is a blast to ride. I just hope it sells well and finally opens the door for more naked bikes here in the US.
    I'd rather be riding

    Love everybody

    I prefer the era of the Lawson replicas, but I've always considered the Z bikes to be manly machines.
