I really have no objection to the water cooled engine, or even the radiator my RSTD has both of those, and as noted the oil coolers on many air cooled bikes are as big as some small radiators. I just don't like the aesthetics of that V. Even my Yamaha RSTD has bolt on plates that give it some fins. I am a cruiser guy, and a standard guy, and I know that under all those cowlings, many water cooled sport bikes don't have fins, but in an homage to the original scout, they just seem glaringly missing.
