I hope Triumph continues their good work on body design/cosmetics. The 
lines and on all the Triumph models are pleasing to the eyes. On the 
other hand, the Futura and the new VFR have the most fussy styling I've 
seen. I have always thought the VFR a nice looking bike, but now, it's 
looks has gone down hill.

I've nothing to criticize on the Ducatis. They will continue designing 
bikes to drool for, but my days of ducatisti have ceased (for a while). 
Their styling has a distinctiveness as I can always tell by a silhouette 
if it's a Duc the same way I can tell a Triumph from a distance.

Just one woman's opinion.
