Cr@p!
The SSie looks fantastic, far better to have those sculpted flowing lines than the flat panel boring old style SS that owed more to the "dustbin" fairings on your 50's racers than it did to 90's machinery or styling
The only "old" style bikes that looked good were the 851/888 series, even the Paso looks better than the old SS
