Well, honestly looking for something a little more low-profile I suppose to say..



I was kind of referring to the Yamaha Tenerererererererererere or however it's spelled (Tenere)..

I'm on your side honestly about bars that stick out - just would like to protect a little if'n I go down. I like to hit the jeep trails here and there - lots of rocks and such.. My last crash was about 5 years ago, all of them took place off-roading so no road rash but plenty of crushed limbs! Skid plate was my first bolt on not but a few days after putting everything together. Probably will be getting an metal one later to replace the polymer one I got from Cycra. Those bikes in the pics and the hawks do look a lot a like - but mine is like the Orion RXB-250L...
