When something looks out of place, with lines that do not flow...it's difficult for me to see beyond that.
I get a similar feeling when I see big, square radiators on motorcycles. Triumph is the only brand producing bikes with radiators I don't find jarring.
This honda's black box looks like a decently-sized sub-woofer. I went to Zero's home page and the SR/S looks better with covering, and their DRS/X models have support bars crossing the battery that flow with the tank and molding. It's visually more appealing to me. And if my immediate reaction is not "that's a great looking bike" nothing's going to convince me to buy one.
