Horsepower and torque can be measured and compared, and one bike will be
the best. Styling is subjective, and what you like, I may hate. That
doesn't make either of us right or wrong.

The original question from Eric was what do you think? That's mostly what
we've answered. Since most of us aren't potential Daytona buyers (if we
were, we'd be on the T5 list) then our opinion may not matter to Triumph
one bit. Back in 1999 when the magazines complained about the Sprint ST
looking too much like a Suzuki Katana, it didn't matter to me one bit
because that was the bike I was coming from, so I felt right at home.

I think the most consensus you'll see on styling is that the Hayabusa is on
the ugly side of town, and the 916/996 belongs in a museum (and has been in
several). Everything else falls into the "beauty is in the eye of the
beholder" category.
