I thought it was butt-ugly TBH I really like the sharp lines of the current model, the new one (if the MCN pics ARE accurate) looks too soft and curved.

The under-seat exhaust looks awful too.

Very disappointing.

Aye, I'll reserve final judgement until I see one "in the metal."

I like the current one though - in blue - <wibble>

More Crap than News had a sports bike on the cover? Fuck me - there's a surprise!

Adam K wrote

well they are hardly gonna put a scooter on the cover are they?

Adam K wrote

i expect sports bikes are the most popular style of bike bought today, so it would be obvious that putting sports bikes on the front cover is gonna appeal to the widest audience.

Adam K wrote

sports bikes are sexy, scooters are not.

FJSRiDER wrote

Make a nice change if they did.
Sure they are - but they have only sold @16,000 bikes out of a total two wheeler market of @60,000 so far this year. Whats that @25%?

It's just the print version of a broken record.

if scooters were so sexy then fit birds everywhere would be swooning over 16 year old burberry wearing chavs, cos those chavs are the only people who buy scooters cos they can't ride anything else.

What's that got to do with More Crap than News continually putting pictures of dull as fuck sports bikes (Whoop-de-doo! another pointless 170mph.... ) on the cover?

They are constantly ignoring 75% of the bike market.

What are you going on about scooters for? They don't put dirt bikes, tourers, customs or nakeds (unless they are some sub-sports bike related ones) on there either.

Your argument is so pathetic as to be pointless!

a) They can put whatever they like on their own cover

b) They know their market and they try to appeal to it. It's called 'business'

Slenver wrote

c) If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Sorry, I apologise (slightly) in advance for being a bit Mr Angry - but it's as annoying as those old Points of View types...."that programme disgusted me... half an hour or pure drivel etc..." Why didn't they ever just switch over rather than watching the whole thing just so they could complain? Grrr...
