My first motorcycle was a Suzuki GS500E. I liked it okay, but every time I see a NH 750 I regret that that wasn't my first bike. The only reason it wasn't was that the year I bought my GS500,...

I agree. I like the Triumph Street and Speed Triples except for that. This Diavel thing carries it even further. It's tops on my list of "annoying trends in motorcycle design."
