| Hmmm...not doing it for me either to be honest.
If you look at the profile it looks really long and nose heavy. The end of the nose almost reaches the tip of the front mudguard and is way out in front of the axle. If you look at the 999 profile it's nose is also in front of the axle but not by as much, and the 916 series bikes it was almost in line. There just looks like a huge gap between the bars and the fairing.
I know that the Japanese and Triumph 675 (ahh, now I know what those headlights remind me of) designers work hard to give their bikes a 'face' - They usually try to go for attitude by making the bikes 'face' aggresive, like a mechanical shark or something off of 'Transformers'.
In this case, to my eyes, the new bikes 'face' seems to have slanted eyes, a 'guiseppe' moustache and seems to have a hare lip...
Wait to see it in the flesh I think |
