I've always liked the profile and styling of the KO-K6 myself. The K7-K8 when all is said and done were probably better all around bikes than the early K's, but I just never like the styling change that they made on the K7-K8's. In my opinion if you have a K2 and a K7 parked side by side the K2 will get all the attention. Nothing against the later K's I know alot of forum members have them parked in there garages to, all of them are nice bikes, I just favor the early K's.
