Check this out. Now why would they have a 650 Twin (ok it's a parallel twin but still)?

Man, I must say, I really like the styling on that thing. The naked model doesn't do much for me, but with the fairing, the red swingarm and front forks really stand out nicely. The offset rear shock is a cool styling touch too, and talk about an eye-catching muffler. Hrm. Looks like SV is up for a bit of a challenge.

*ducks*

muffler is the first thing that caught my eye. that is a unique ride. I like it.

The exhaust is a bad crossing between the Buell under-body exhaust and the Gixxer 1000'er triangle ... not my taste...

If you don't like that one.......then I know your gonna hate the new 2006 FZ6 can...

And oh yeah the new R6 comes in the Frodo Rossi US Moto GP colors of yellow and black!!!!

**inspiron** · 09-02-2005, 03:33 AM

You're right, Nexus ... me no like.

Hardware · 09-02-2005, 05:05 AM

They're all so close...and yet so far...from good looking...

Scourge · 09-02-2005, 08:18 AM

The Yama looks too naked, if that makes sense. The Kawa though is quite striking.

P-Low · 09-02-2005, 08:49 AM

i dunno, i think i like them all... tho im partial to all bikes i think, havent seen a bike that i cant appreciate.

MagnumForce · 09-02-2005, 08:59 AM

I too like them all. I find it difficult to criticize certain bikes because they fill a particular niche. Then again, I like anything on two wheels, Buells included.

axel_2078 · 09-02-2005, 09:01 AM

The pipe on that yamaha makes the bike look deformed. Maybe it didn't stay in the factory long enough. LOL

viper94bite · 09-02-2005, 09:31 AM

the fz6 looks ok on the grey one but the cans can always be changed. I like em' all

If you like torque the 650R has it all you need is a Leo Vince pipe ans pro tapper handbars change your rear sprocket to 42 teeth and you will see that this bike is lots of fun
