That's my gripe with the new design. I'm happy they changed the headlight to go with LEDs but I really can't come to terms with the shape they went with. It really does look like a japanese bike.
That new engine is great (I tested the new GS and RT) and the dash is clearly superior than the one we have now, but I like the front end far better on my 17. Gotta see it IRL I guess.

Not with you on the front end, i think the new one is much nicer and the old one too dated now.

That or I'm just mad that a new model gets out that early after I got a 18k� bike, so I'm looking for things to not like on the new one =D

I must of missed the green anodised fork tops

Kawasaki design department seem to spend their days on acid and have too many 1970's sci-fi comics

Growning old is compulsory, growing up is optional

Personally, I don't think the latest KTM headlight styling is much better.

And I am getting a little tired of orange. How about some brown KTMs.

The BMW international site list the yellow bike as Austin Yellow Metallic Matt.

No wonder I didn't catch that...as soon as I saw that horrid color, I moved quickly to the next color scheme without reading that it was a matte finish!

I didn't know it was matte until today.
Like you I found the color so disturbing I never looked at it very close :)
