I suppose there are as many reasons for the angular styling as you want to make. Though while there may be a consumer trend towards angular goods, i think that its the MotoGP influence. Think back to the nasty NSR’s and RGV’s and all of them were relatively rounded(aerodynamicly least drag) for the highest top speed. But when the torquey heavy 4-strokes appeared the philosophy changed to angular to cause turbulance and allow the riders to tip the bikes on their ears as quickly as possible.
Most modern superbikes are following this KTM just take it to an extreme.
Oh and coho, i resemble that remark an happen to love the tail just to prove your point

if you look at this bike next to pics of the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, the styling starts to make alot of sense… the Rc8 is more Lambo on two wheels (think menacing hot-blooded italian design), where as the Ducati is more… Ferrari on two wheels. i want one in white

as to the F117 there is a need to all of those curves to get a radar singnatur of less then 1 milli unit u need them and then a thick radar absorbing material over the sheet metal thats y u can’t see any rivets hahaha so ya 1980s or not still one of the most undetected planes out there because of that angular design as u put it haha i think only 3 have been shot down
