I with you on that.

BTW it looks like a KTM.
I bet if you put some orange tat on and a KTM sticker on the tank no one would question it.

Nah, like them or not, but KTM have a definite house 'style'. The MT07 doesn't - there's no consistent style, just a bunch of stuff thrown at the bike. Styling by committee.
