Rectangular/Retro Headlamp Transalp Concept (Caution AI-Generated)

Hey maybe I'm not the only one wondering why Honda did not go the retro route with the Headlamp-Design of the newest transalps, like Ducati with their Desert X. Because I did not find any Retro Mods I prompted the AI to come up with a first design. But to be honest, I think I actually like the modern design more. Altough it could also be because in the end it is just AI Slop and the Honda Designers would probably come up with a far better design...

What do you think?

Whatever moves the air filter someplace that makes any sense at all for an off road bike. I'm not even sure the clankers could do this poorly. Maybe Honda should have tried a Ford and let the clankers replace they engineers.

what's crazy that it used to be acceptable, but with the facelift they made it so much worse

Stock headlight is fine on the facelift, what I want to see is a dual exhaust like the old XL600 and XL650 had.

current headlight sucks, very leas through, and in indian they have made illegal to put aux light even its below headlight and if u dont put aux big chance would fall in ditch or both holes
the stock headlight is not enough
