I can't say I mind the black on the motor as opposed to all silver or all black. If you look at the entire 2017, there are dabs of black and silver all over the place. Tires. Frame. Motor. Forks. Shocks. Seat. Side cover. Gauges. Grips. So it all seems to just flow together to me. I like it. But then, I like the seamless tank too. I heard a video of the old and new motors revving and they did in fact get more rumble in the new pipes. So yeah, I like the black in the motor and those old Nortons look spiffy as well!
