    Exactly, I too feel the side profile of R25 is more aggressive and awesome while the front looks are ok'ish. The headlamps from side have striking resemblance to Mitsubishi Evo.

    I personally feel that the headlamps on R25, from the side, look like a shark on prowl.

It's just that the expectations that one has with looks of R series bikes of Yamaha don't meet with R25. That "connect" you get with R6 or R15, you don't feel the same way for R25.
    Yes true !! R15 is a stunner in the looks department. But again looks is dependant on personal opinions.

    I like the headlamps on R25 more than anything else. They are refreshingly different. They may be similar but the R25 headlamp is better than CBR600RR headlamps(to look at). In fact I feel the 600RR doesn't look good, even with the recent refreshment it got, certainly not in the face of other 600s. The R6 despite being an old bike still looks good.
    I have had the opportunity of laying my eyes on the countless R15 v2s in the office parking. It's pleasing to the eyes. THe least appreciable aspect of the design is the swingwarm which is extended as the rear mudguard. It looks awkward.
    R25's headlamps when looked at from front is very good but sidewise not so good, completely my personal opinion. I specially liked the swingarm of R15V2 mostly because of its meaty structure. I wished they could give the R25 the same swingarm.

    Yamaha have done a great job on the 250cc mill but in design department R25 lacks by big score (my opinion)
    it looks good but not what we expected from a R series bike.
    Look at other R bikes the mighty One (R1) The R6 they carry an aggressive & sharp styling which has became a trade mark for R series.
    Even R15 & R125 carry that trait. Every time you look at them they look fresh just ready to attack the roads but R25 doesn't pulls the right string.
    initially the bike looked great but now it doesn't appeals & looks more like curvy honda bikes.

    p.s- this are my personal opinions.

    True. I can also find some resemblance with the Daytona 250.

    I hope it is smaller as it makes it more compact and nimble on the road.

    Its just the side panels of the fairing of Ninja which is making it bigger than the R25...but in the end it all depends upon the road / track performance level of these bikes. But still I would like to add that Yam is bigger than the Kawaks...The dimensions for the Yam is LxBxH (in mm) 2090x720x1135 and for the Kawasaki its 2010x715x1110.

    Ninja300 has much better appeal than an R25 (along with performance )

    and it being i-smart you will always wink at the ladies as they show.. with R25 on the contrary you might give them some aural nirvana just passing by.. but eventually the splendor wins as you don't get angry anymore..
