I don't know guys, I saw the '17 at the moto show and thought the side covers looked pretty good. Black is good, color matched ok but brushed aluminum ties into the brushed cases pretty well I think & is ALOT better than the white one's Triumph puts on the new Bonnie's from time to time. I also like the tank, sort of a Guzzish vibe on that one. Really, this iteration checks most of the boxes for me. The problem I had with the new CB was that for a 500#+ bike it just felt really small when I sat on it in '13 (I'm 6'2" and not into origami seating positions- bolt upright is good). The '17 seemed better when I sat on it (new seat/bars/pegs?). If that holds when they hit the floor this spring we just might have a winner.
