I don't think anyone has posted on the new release yet, so I'm gonna- because I fracking LOVE this bike.

I'll never understand fairings. If I want to be covered in plastic, I'll take the car. Viva Naked!

I wholly agree. I like the classic look of the round headlights too, even if they do make it look kind of like a Ruckus.

That's a good thing. :)

Funny thing now, with about half the streetfighters I've seen, they've all got the twin headlight look of the Speed Triple.

There are times when they come in handy- like when we're doing 110-130mph banzai runs down to the city. I did 130mph on my old Radian one time and it's a LOT more pleasant on the Ninja. Also, up here, when the temperature starts dipping into the 20's, the fairing is nice for keeping the cold air off of you.

On the downside, it's one more thing I have to worry about scraping/breaking, and any kind of basic repair is a pain in the nuts because I have to remove all the bodywork.

I do like the look of the cafe fairings on naked bikes though.
