I don't care for the "stink bug" tail treatment of too many modern bikes - including the NC700X that is my NT700V's stablemate. It makes as much sense as the "bird beak" look on the ADV bikes.
Around 2011 I decided to stop selling off bikes I have purchased over the years and now have three distinctly different street bikes in my garage. I have had a cbr1000rr in the past and I still appreciate big powerful good handling bikes. I really appreciate the new crop of liter naked bikes with power and handling at near super sport levels. There was no way I was going to sell my vfr 800 or Bking for an NT700V so when the time was right I eventually bought one to add to my now full garage.
The NT is a relatively simple bike that has comfort, convenience and longevity that no other under a liter bike has. Variety is the spice of life.
One more shot of the high tail contemporary performance bike. :smile:
