While I doubt I may ever own one, it’s still pretty cool that they’re bringing it back. I still miss my old '05 model, probably one of the best looking bikes of this era IMO.

glad they finally made the front end attractive again. IMO the 07+ were attrocious looking in comparison to the 03-06.

^^You could say that about a lot of the newer sport bike models. I don’t know who is coming up with these exhaust systems but they just look terrible.

Because they have to put cats in them.

They don’t all have to look like that, a lot of cats are inline with the mufflers, hidden underneath the driver, maybe they’re saving weight combining them
