I looked at one at a dealership. When I sat on it, I noted that my left leg hit against the rear - left - cylinder head. Yamaha put a wire guard on that cylinder, presumably to keep riders' legs away from the hot cylinder. I won't comment on the styling, because people's tastes vary so much. I had a similar problem when I looked at a Honda Fury and my right leg rubbed against the air intake. It may seem like a small matter, but I think I'd be annoyed every time I rode either of them. I simply don't need that, no matter how attractive the bike might be stylistically.
