Any of you that have been reeducated by the Suzuki Ministry of Information and Styling, please report to the deprogramming center immediately.

(I know, I know, they'd be crazy to change the styling radically. It's actually distinctive. It's an icon. It's actually a distinctively hideous icon...but it works for them.)

Speed3's ugly too but that doesn't stop it from being Triumph's best seller.

BTW, where ya been ya hippie?

I think the new one looks better than the old one. Some may call it ugly, but at least it doesn't need a tank badge for someone to know what it is. If you owned one, ugly is the last thing you would call it. Probably the best all-around bike I ever owned.

"Owned" being the operative word.

See, I agree that the 'busa is ugly (or at least goofy looking) but I rather like the look of the triple.

Yeah, but ugly in a good way. The new slightly redesigned one is slighly less ugly without spoiling the overall sense of glorius ugliness. Or something like that.

Actually, the S3 looks really cool with a rider on it.

That sqatting-dog's-ass tail on the new Bus is just too much for me. The old one actually look fairly good in the flesh, without the seat cowl. No one's arguing that it's not a great bike, though.

Anyway, I've been here and there and kind of busy. Lurking every now and then, but genrally too lazy or just not capable of any coherent thoughts worth posting. Just some Web burnout.

But riding season has returned and I missed the general idiocy here.
