It is ugly, but better looking that the ducati wings. Is it me or is the nose and screen at a lower angle?

The nose looks longer to me. It's hard to tell until it's painted up but it does look like there's more over the front wheel.

It’s interesting how no one in Japan thought to try this but once a European decided it worked, they now all want to try it.
