Can't agree. I love the older Kawasaki Ninjas with their pair of circular rear lights!!!!
Shame my Kwak KR1 hasn't got them but a rectangular light instead!!!

I'm in agreement with the rear light. Very agricultural. I don't mind the front lights but when I've got the time I'm thinking some flush indicators on the front and a nice LED integrated rear light might finish it off nicely :D

haha tbh I don't have a strong preference about the shape of the lights. if that's all we can find to criticise aesthetically then the bike's overall looks can't be too bad. as far as I know rear lights have always been either round or rectangular, depending on the fashion of the era - but I've never been one to blindly follow the masses.
enjoy yer moggy thou lights and get yerself some 'sticky out' indicator arms to match :lol:

Ben,

I quite like the headlight set-up on the SP's myself, as already been said it's different which I like, everybody to the own and all that! The rear doesn't look imo that good, but wouldn't put me off buying one :wink:
