Wow, it is amazing that people blame the japs for their bikes all looking the same.

They could have changed the entire bike as long as they left the exhaust alone. Instead they changed the exhaust and left everything else the same.

Personally I think the quad-exhaust thing had gotten rather stale (along with undertails in general). Especially when you consider that it's a four-cylinder, so it only has one pipe leading into that huge muffler. If it was a v-twin at least it would have 2 pipes leading into it, making those 4 tips appear more "justified" from a visual perspective.

Give it a low-slung side-exit exhaust, a thinner tail that doesn't look like the Starship Enterprise, and a less bulky lower fairing, and we might have something.
