I never attended any sessions about bike designing and all so I can't
understand the fine details about bike design but what I have gained
by listening to people, byk is *not* a good looking vehicle, specially
if victor and fiero are refered as non-good looking.

Just wonder, BYK was more VFM than Victor/Fiero, it looks better than
Fiero/Victor, its mileage is better than Victor/Fiero...still I don't
think BYK sold in as many no's as Victor/Fiero.
