Yup. Not a fan of the bar end mirrors though.
 
Redesigned GSXR-1000R (in Europe). Looks nicer with a smaller exhaust. Hopefully it will show up here too.

 
This is a pretty bike and a street legal dirt bike. Limited edition. Bring your check book!

I was just about to say the same thing, looked at the article and this side profile you posted looks great but the front... Ugh
 
Polarizing design. I’ve always liked the look.
Less a fan of the smaller engine though but I suspect I’d probably change my mind after riding one.
 
It says it is 50 State legal for the roadways.
 
About a decade ago I checked out a Craigslist listed Beta 400RR that a dude had plated. Trying to transfer into my name and keep the plate wasn’t a certainty so I didn’t take the gamble. It had a slightly lower than usual seat height that liked.

More of a praying mantis as opposed to the KTM alien. I don't care for either.Screenshot_20251207-171542_Samsung Internet.jpg
 
If I were to get something now it would be the very first bike you posted. I actually have bad carpal tunnel from everything over the years I suppose. I like the BMW for long distance and snow. I'm interested in doing long trips. But I have to figure out what bike and what setup can let me do it. Hands go numb unless I figure out some system of riding. Expensive to buy stuff and then try it. I almost need to borrow bikes to try different things I suppose. If it's even possible. In memerandum of John :).

Sorry yo hear about the physical stuff.
Hope you can overcome it. There are those ride share spots where you can rent a bike from an individual. That might be an avenue to try a couple different bikes.

I also like the look of the latest SuperDuke, headlight included.
Not sure when the recent styling was introduced but I was not a fan of early styling.

Agreed, but I always thought KTM was going after the face from the character in the Scream movies.
I think of that white mask every time I see one.

Looks like a Decepticon to me. It has grown on me. The Triumph bug eyes have too.
