If this turns out to be either a one-year bike or the swan song of the model...this bike could become quite a collectors' item, like a '63 Corvette split-window coupe.

The tank is sexy like a Jaguar XKSS.

Reference photo to compare similarities / differences between the 2014 DLX and the 2017 EX.

...funny - to me, the tank is the least attractive part of the new model! Undecided

Thanks for the side by side. I like the new one, but side by side like this, the 2014 still does it for me. One thing I think I need now, after seeing this, is the chrome meter cups. Do they sell them for the 2014? I put them on my 2013 but had to let them go with that bike because they wouldn't fit the new one.

Personally I like all of them: the 2013 tank, the 2014 DLX tank, and the 2017 EX tank. I don't have the reaction, "This tank is beautiful; that tank is not."

Where the '17 EX tank with added tumblehome to me is like a curvaceous XKSS, the '13 tank is a '70 Dodge Challenger and the '14 tank is a '70 Mustang Mach 1 - both cars with a more slab-sided aesthetic.

Ok, you got me saying 'it's only money'... and they do look good and are easy to install! So maybe there's some Christmas money left over and I can give myself a present... Thanks
