WHY WHY WHY only one headlight on? I hate this on "side" headlamps it just spoils the whole balance and symmetry. Will every1 who buys one, plase always ride round on full beam.

thank you

I'm not sure, but i think that's because of some stupid law about rodoviary security

If you notice, all the bikes that came out in the last couple of years with dual headlight have one one headlight on (except for the 04 R1 that has 4 - 2x2 - front lights).

[749er]

The current RSVR has both headlamps on all the time whether on dipped or main beam, which is how it should be IMHO if you have side by side lamps.

Also on the 749/999, both are never on at the same time its either one or the other, so it always looks good.

The 1098 appears to use similar headlamps to the 999 juts layed out differently
