Then again, maybe it's just my envy at those nifty HPE pipes talking.
You mean like an udder hanging down under the saggy jugs?

There, I said it for you. No translation necessary.

Actually, one of the things I like about the S is that is has so little body work that anything below the engine seems superfluous, because the engine itself is such a focal point. On a full-fairing bike like the RT or ST, it seems more necessary to extend the bodywork below the engine, but it seems pretty extraneous on the S.

However, RoLoo did an excellent job with the paint scheme and decals, so I can't really fault him for that, but I know what you mean, fenring.
