I've read all the (somewhat lack-luster) reviews of the new 650 and I flipped through all the photos, just like everyone else has. I am ticked-pink to see the addition of the gear position, and wish I had it on my 09. I also like the dash layout a bit better than all the previous year editions. However, I don't really like the physical 'look' of this new Strom. The gas tank in particular is what strikes me as 'odd'. I like the big, over-blown, hulking tank that we've become accustomed too. The new slimmer profile just looks a bit lost to me. Smaller, thinner, a bit too narrow... I dunno, maybe its me.
Maybe I am just grasping at straws here. And perhaps I am a bit biased towards the (now) older Strom edition, but is anyone else not overly thrilled with the new look of the Strom?
