Well, looks are subjective, obviously. This is a fairly new niche that’s still developing, but I think it stands up well against the BMW F800/650GS and the Verseys / V-Strom. I think these middleweight adventure-sport bikes are pretty neat myself, and hedging bets with 800ccs is a smart move.
Yes, I’m old enough to think a Scrambler model would have been cooler, but still… pretty cool IMHO.

I just can't get past the front end to even consider the rest.

If the 675 is anything to go by it will have a killer engine
