Some of A* boots might be made in Italy, but their jackets? China mostly. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

There is nothing wrong with the v-strom. It's an awesome rock solid bike, just not a fan of the looks. Which is a stupid reason to not like a bike because the performance matters more. Learned that with the Beemer.

yea, I used to say that when I owned the 'Busa...well, that and "don't worry your pretty little head about the looks, you won't be able to see it from 2 miles behind me!"

I don't know... it's like women, you can't seem to find a hot one with all of the personality traits that you want. You always end up compromising looks for personality or personality for looks.

I sat on this at the bike show...fits me well and I love the front end and the sides minus the coloring scheme.

IMO...you are paying for more expensive components (though they may not last longer) and the BMW name. I don't see this bike winning too many races, though.

And for the record, you couldn't handle the Gixxar 1milllllllllion to begin with!

Maybe you need to step down to a 600 son. lol

what does it look like from the saddle? Honestly, I am at the point where I could pretty much care less what a bike looks like to people on the sidewalk - I spend my time in the saddle so that's what is important to me.
