Those are some sweet looking bikes but lets face it a stock 500E looks NOTHING like those sweet rides.

I LOVE the look of the Ducati's, the Z1000 and that Aprilla looks like a bloody animal.  Even some GS's naked look cool after they had a ton of gear replaced.

...but with my two cents the stock GSE looks yuck.

oh yeah, these bikes (even if they're all too futuristic for my personal taste) were born unfaired, and unfaired they should stay.

Wouldn't it be a real shame to put a full fairing on any of them? Make them look just like everything else on the road?

Heck, even though I haven't got much use for cruisers, I'll throw the Griso in that group:

Why not the V11 Sport?


Or the MGS?

those bikes all look sweet. i must say that some bikes look better nekid than others. especially in stock form. sometimes the manufacturer gets it right the first time and you don't need to do any adjustments. my thing is, if the stock E is so much better than the stock F, why do i hear of so many E owners who have moded their bikes, some drastically. i'm not saying the mods look bad, i'm just curious. if it's not broke, why fix it?

Jserio thats my point too. 

I think the E looks awesome all moded up.  With a cool fairing, chin fairing, new headlight etc.. it looks sweet and Id be happy to ride a bike looking like that but as a stock bike Id rather ride an F.

Aesthetically, I prefer the looks of the fully-faired models. For practical purposes, I ride nekkid (because it would cost too damned much to repair the fairings every time I fell over  :flipoff:). :icon_mrgreen:
