That's quite pleasant.

But knee mirrors? That's a first. :roll:

As well as the 'form over function' mirrors - even if you can see anything behind your love handles, they'll leave a HUGE blindspot directly behind the bike - it also looks very much like the ducktail actually manages to hide the LED rear light built into the rear seat. Nothing to save the air filter / rear shock / rectifier from any crap thrown up by the rear tyre either. I guess it's not meant to be ridden in rain or mud.

I like the colour. It ungheys a Homda and makes it like a Kawasaki.
