Don't worry- based on this HORRIBLE video- nobody will see the bike-

Good grief! Do they really see this type of person as their target market? Once they find out it had a smelly combustion engine, they will choke on their seaweed salad.

You guys need to get with the program. Morning briefings at the rally looked just like this video. You should have seen InhouseBob, A-Man and RickCB doing their little break dance before each ride! Mr. P performed the rap because he was the only one cool enough to pull that off.

I did a break-dance once. There was ice on the ground and a thin coat of new snow on top of it. It was epic.

A funky-fresh video is great if the product is equally funky-fresh. Case in point, when the Kia Soul launched, the car was new and unique, and targeted to young people who were shopping the equally youthful and unique Scion XB. The commercials and promo videos featured break-dancing hamsters which were surrogates for, I'm assuming, young urban youth.
This video, featuring equally young, urban youths doing young urban things are shown dropping their jaws and sunglasses as a very pedestrian, bland motorcycle ambles by. I picture the Kia Soul commercial, but the car they are dancing around is a basic Corolla sedan.

Kia Soul was designed by a former Audi Design Engineer (in California) and to this day is Kia's most successful modern design gasoline vehicle.

I loved those commercials, although I had no interest in a Kia. Great commercials

The instrument cluster actually looks okay.
At least better than many others.

Man, tough crowd.
Seems like it is priced with the likes of MT07, Z650, SV650 etc, but with much better power, suspension, tech, brakes... it would be a no brainer for me if I was choosing between them. Can't see why anyone would buy a mt07 when you could get this for the same money.
A great value bike with great specs, and looks fine to me, but I am not a purveyor of style lol.
