The new R6 is just awful as far as appearance! First, the shorty exhaust looks ridiculous. Then the rear fender, which looks like a crane (this of course is easily removable so I won't get too into this one).

The other bad thing is if you look at the bike from the side, the tail looks way too small compared to the rest of the bike. Makes it look very unbalanced from front to back.

The worst has to be the mid-fairing though. It looks so foreign and doens't flow well with the rest of the bike. Looks like someone stuck it on as an afterthought.

Check out the link below...this pretty much summarizes my thoughts of the new R6...
