As a concept it looks amazing, will be interested to see what actually makes it if the bike moves forward.
It is a bit half-way, but better than what we are accustomed to (recently) for a small sportbike or whatever.

You are right - things can change A LOT if it does see production. The R3 prototype was amazing (MotoGP/new R1-look) but lost most of its coolness in the production version.
