Looks like Fernandez went back to the current bike for Sunday at Lommel 

I noticed that as well and am very curious as to why!

That might take the cake for best looking bike now. Damn!

People will always say the new bike is uglier but it will grow on you. It happens every time! All these bikes look great but one thing they have in common is that they were widely deemed as ugly compared to its predecessor when they came out.

People do often react in a negative way to the new bikes, as a general rule. That being said, I don't remember anyone saying anything negative about the '21 Honda. Those things look amazing. I hated the '20. The '25 got some negative feedback and I can understand why, but it's still a great-looking bike, in my opinion. The "27" is nice too but I still think it's a bit of a downgrade to the '25 on looks. But it seems as though it mechanically is a big change, whereas the '25 was more of a refresh. 

Yah, that  and when the 09 first came out I loved how they looked right away. This years bike grew on me. I still dislike how the shroud is to lay logos out on. The shape gives less room with the vents where they are. Most logos just don't fit as well on that generation as they do on the 21.

Wow this is crazy. Entirely new bike. Hopefully the lawrence bros like the new bike because its going to have basically everything changed on it.  I wasnt a huge fan of the 80’s style shrouds, this looks pretty good imo. Its a nice cross between the last generation and the newest retro looking generation. 

Won't be available to the Honda team in the US until 2027, they are a year behind. Herlings will be riding it next season as it is rumored

Wonder why the left outer engine case is so big and what's going on inside there? 

There’s an over sized Johnson Rod in there!💯
