It seems to be the rule that the lights vary from naff to mostly naff, with a few exceptions.

The 750's I had were less than inspiring to ride in the dark and my S2R is equally bad. I had a CB500/4 that had a better light pattern that got even better with a cibie Z fitted.
The light is there but the beam pattern is really bad and there isn't much choice of alternatives for the round lights.
The split new generation lights are probably more limited on options.

The 748R I have... day time I'll take on virtually anything, gets dark and a good 125 is a challenge only because I can't see where I'm going!! Then it is essentially a race bike and the only night time road racing is endurance.

Carrots anyone??
