You are not alone Del

I in no way mean my comments to be taken in a derogitory light; I can totally appreciate the engineering and ergonomic qualities of the machine, the skill and patience with which it has been put together, and can only guess at the quantum improvement in dynamic performance over any other TL based machine........... but I have said in the past that the one area in which it does lack is the aesthetic's...... but if the owner is happy, who cares
The fairing looks bulbuous on such a small machine, the tank too angular/rectangular, and overall lines that just do not flow/gell.....
But then, I've never thought the 916 to be the design perfection everyone else seems to think it is either

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...........
