Yes, that how I think about it too. Somehow most motorcycle designers are stuck between a praying mantis/insectoid design (especially followed by Kawa and KTM) and again an other '60s-'70s copy (used by many, esp Triumph) while some try to do both at the same time, like the Yamaha XSR900.
They seem to be unable to come up with something really new. Last modern-but-graceful design is my other bike: a Moto Guzzi Griso. I couldn't resist the CB1100 but I am still hopeful to one day see a truly new design.
