    I have always enjoyed their art. I have always wondered why their sense of aesthetics does not work in industrial design? Their good looking cars are mostly Western designs.

    I agree. This is one area where the Italians kick Japanese butt.

    Half expected to see a Gen 2 Hayabusa here. Never ridden one but have never liked the looks of the thing.

    In my opinion early Gixers were the last of the good looking Jap bikes. Busas were never good looking but I don't think thats why people bought them.

    I always thought the final gen R6 was one of the sexiest sportbikes out there. Looked like it could have been a Ducati with its fiber optic DRLs at the front and rear pass through "wing" as well as the vertical brake light at the rear. Was a sad day when Yamaha ended production a couple years ago.
