I met up with some guys yesterday and a few made the same comment that they did not like the new tail end. I was like, well, I actually like it better than the old one. However, the whole bike actually had to grow on me. I was always a Gixxer fan, not a Busa fan. Unfortunately I am a big guys so the Busa is a better fit. Now that I have one, I would never change, but I still think the new tail end looks better, mainly cause of the turn signals. I don't like those old ones that stuck out underneath.
