When I started hearing complaints about tank seams about 2 years ago, I actually had to walk out to the garage to see if my bikes had them That's after owning one of them for 7 years and the other for 2. I actually never noticed before. It is not something that bothers me. They both do, and I don't really care lol. Couldn't tell you if my brothers Bonnie has them, if my son's Ducati M696 or FJ-09 has them, if my one nephews NC700 has them, if the other nephew's SV650 or 690 Duke has them? It's not something even on my radar.
Sounds about what I was thinking. I wasn't sure if perhaps in the past, they had been looked at as cheap or indicative of some larger issue with quality or style. I was the same way with mine, didn't notice them until they were pointed out.
Beats the yards of plastic I had on my old Ninja 636. That thing was nicely sculpted, but why style in thin fairings when you can carve out a beautiful powerplant and put it on display?
