I honestly dont understand the designs now a days (even the ducatis).    All the Hard, sharp lines look like hell.     Heck, even the front fender of the Kx450's look like a giant Hulk Penis hanging out there, flapping around  infront of you... (looking at you USMC500).


what ever happend to simple, clean, elegant lines?
