I think the Suzuki V-Strom 650 sells at leaswt 10:1 over the 1000. You’d think other companies would take note and do likewise. Just imagine how cool and accessible this bike would be as a lighter 650, 20% cheaper.

I still love the “Bill the Cat” headlights thing. Hilarious. “How utterly gross.”

Yup, nice to see one of the euro companies’ design departments showing some restraint.

..because most likely many people would find their styling boring. No doubt about it, all those styling licks you mentioned are polarizing which equates to each brand’s identity.

This along with the Suzuki is the best styled of the “adventure” sport bikes yet but they’re all still trying too hard. Beaks (Ducati), Bill the cat headlights (BMW) and “Transformer face” (Aprilia). Why can’t they just make the bike the way functionality dictates?

Not to worry, they’ll be available as an accessory add-on.
