New guy from Central Florida

[no chrome]

Picked up a 2022 last week.
I've already added Akrapovic pipes, rear cowling, tail delete, tank protector and a Ram mount for my phone.
This is my 19th motorcycle...been riding for 55 years.
Looking forward to putting some miles on her.

I mean, it's a beautiful bike but ...
maybe just a little too 'pointy-looking' v the Gen 2
No offense
I like the wind-tunnel look

 

[BigBSBusa]

Welcome! Good lookin' scoot, but the pointed nose with the wheel turned doesn't look appealing. What are your thoughts comparing this to the previous or other 18 bikes in your collection?

I love the look and so does my wife.
Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder : )
I just sold my 2018 Tuono but prior to that I had a 2017 GSXF1000 and the nose looks very similar.
I've owned Choppers, Harleys, R1, ZX10R, C14, Magnum X1...etc.
The only bike I regret selling was my 2016 BMW S1000RR...loved it.

the nose looks eerily similar to the 'busa

Man , that Gen 3 is sporting a real raptor look with the sharp fairing in that pic , it is real nice in person also imho . I think the top speed aerodynamics will still be very good , following on from the old Gens . I haven't read anything on a freed up Gen 3 hitting the double ton as yet , but I am thinking it wont be too long before we do .

Unless you get on that chrome strip on the side fairings, you're going to have change your user name to "some chrome".......

Bike's looking good...like all the gens, the rear seat cover completes the look of the bike...

I call that chrome strip the "Nike Swoosh" and its next on the "TO DO" list.
I'm gonna remove the fairings and possibly have it wrapped in carbon fiber to match the pipes.
Anybody know how to photoshop that?

Sure, here's my highly skilled photoshopped version, lmao.

Certainly changes the lines....in a good way....

Chrome belongs on cruisers...not sport bikes
