Yamaha into RETRO?
#5
Well, I like the upright seating position, and the round headlight.

Otherwise, I'll go the other way. I'm not a fan of "modern" styling with all the lines going every which way and an overall unfinished look. For instance, where are the side covers? What is that box hanging below the steering head? Like most of the "nakeds" it looks like a sportbike with the plastic removed, revealing mechanicals that were not particularly designed to be seen.

I bought a CB1100 because of it's looks, which are, to me, beautiful. Not because it was "retro" per se. And, of course, just my .02 and probably worth less...
