Haha it is ugly to nearly everyone. I love the iconic and somewhat these days unique look. I recently purchased an 08 low mile 650 version purely because I missed my 2012 650 and then my 2014 1000. I felt the look of the original 08 styling was just a must for my collection and to experience. It surprises me how good it is in 2023. I really enjoy the fuelling of the older bikes for obvious reasons. I definitely prefer the 650, smaller cc bikes feel more engaging to me. Small engine but whale of a bike.
