But someone is going to have to explain to me how it is somehow more aesthetically pleasing to have a short stubby tail with that ugly licence plate bracket from the swing arm as opposed to a normal tail with the traditional plate mount.
The CB1000R is the same way and I don't like it at all.
because its supposed to be a flat tracker, that's what they look like. no offense, but if all bikes looked like ujms (cb), the world would be a very boring place.

Ah, but you left the bottom part of my statement out which changes the context of what I said.
The new CB1000R is not a flat tracker and it has the same back end as does the new Katana, hmm also not a flat tracker. MT series, Diavel, shall I continue?
So back to my original question - How does the stubby tail and ugly bracket make bikes (that are not flat trackers) look better?
And for the record I own 3 bikes, only one of which is a UJM so don't presume to know what I like.
Oh and thanks for the picture - condescending much?
