Yeah it does. Look at the sight line. You're upright, but the top of of the eyeport is really low.

Put on your helmet and roll your eyes up (i.e. look up as far as you can). Can you see the upper edge of the eyeport? If your helmet is positioned right, you shouldn't be able to. Check photos of racers in a full tuck. They can still see forward... even with the chin bar ON the tank.

Watch the eyes....

(PS: Love the paint scheme on your bike!)
