And we all have personal taste,thank heavens,but can you honestly say that the HP2 looks better than the KTM Super Enduro ?
I mean,no GS looks particularly pretty,though I do think the GSA 12 has a certain menace to it.
But the HP2 looks like a £5000 bike,not more than twice that.
It just looks so mashed up-where the hell did that £20 headlight come from ?
That, i have to disagree. The 950SE R looks utter cheap crap on the pics IMHO, with cheap wheels, details and nasty coloured cheap looking and too much plastic.
I haven't seen one in real life though, but to decide from the pics and videos i've seen from SE, it seriously does look cheap after the HP2. The 950/990ADV is much better looker for me taste if it comes to katoom line. The 950SE's lightning-speed development to copycat-mimic the HP2 took it's price. At least Ducati spends some detailed work on their new motard before production.
The HP2 in the detail alone - i say it's truly outstanding! From paralever to handlebars. And if me had a loads of £$£$£, i'd buy it just for it's round headlight and put it behind the glass on my living room
It's all matter of a taste and opinion, but I like the original looking things rather than a regular non-innovative (950SE is a strict-HP2 copycat anyway) shite put into intense orange colours and say "oh my, that looks soo good, the detail is sooo nice, it's sooo high quality". The same psychology-politics Ducati uses with intense red and yellow and gets the highest finish points from mag journalists, with the words "it
looks expensive", altough there's a cheap iron mixture beneth the thick layer of colour and not even nearly the expensive details used.
GS 12 ADV very nice? hmm... Nothing wrong, but me likey 1150 ADV a bit more from the looks. Both good (very original) lookers indeed.
That's my opinion about them and mine alone.
Stopped making the R1150R and had some spare headlights going.
