Wow, that looks a million times better than the older models. Can't even really hate on the headlights now-- they look like they were designed and not like the bike was taken off the production line too soon

Good headlights are geometric primitives. One circle, two circles, rectangles, or lines. Everything else either looks super tryhard or rapidly dates itself.

CA has changed lately. The important stuff is still the same (buy a DRZ, nsap is a oval office etc) but the collective taste has dropped off a cliff and everyone is running around thinking bayformers styling, tail proboscii, painfully over-styled headlights, ktm 'quality' and other stupid bullshit is cool and good.

After seeing that Afrigrom someone made, I'm really curious what my bike would look like with two (round) headlights.

They're an awesome machine, I rode a 2016 Factory and I also did not want to hand it back to the owner.

I'd love one of those. Kinda feel like it could use a little more fairing though.

The front fairing on the Tuono has always been kind of a miss for me too, but it's not a deal-breaker. The V4 is a killer motor.

You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought...

Kind of a grey and chilly day for riding here in eastern Ontario, but just installed my new tankbag and finally got around to removing (moving to under the seat) my frame stickers. Looking pretty good if I do say so myself.

Yeah, just repaint the tank to the proper colour and you're set.

Apparently it does as you as you posted pretty much the exact same comment the last time I posted a picture of my bike a year ago.

I don't know what to tell you, I really like the white on this particular bike! I didn't realize I was a trend :)
