I like it, it's different. The RSV4 looks like honda 600rr bred with a honda 1000rr.

I can see where you might see that. To be honest the triple headlight strikes me of the 954rr and we can't forget both companies favor red and black schemes (hey, who wouldn't). However, most of those cues were pre-exisiting on both versions of the rsv mille. All three of which are ball achingly gorgeous

I am not a priller sportbike fan, they always look bland to me. Nothing special, might as well be japanese instead of exotic without the reliability or cheap price tag. The nakeds are different though.

You know when the buell guys trot this tired opinion out it almost makes sense. Not so much in this case. There's really only so many ways to do things. I'm guessing you base your expectations for most european sportsbikes (other than bmws limited offerings) on ducati's stagnant technology?

I am not talking about technology. I am talking about pure looks. It just like any regular japanese bike. It's like buying a Ferrari or Lambo and it looking like a toyota camry. I think the KTMs do a better job of being exotic. I would rather an RC8 over the RSV4.

I think this is a dig against Buell but I'm not sure how.
