No, for all the reasons cited above. Helmet is high up and quite large.

What grabs your eye right away? That's right... the helmet. And it's even more true in a sportbike tuck. From the front, my bike is a big blob of light, a front tire, and my head.
I came to this conclusion because on my commute, there's a guy going the other way (divided highway) who has a canary yellow Shoei. The first thing I notice -- even before the bike itself -- is that helmet, and it grabs my eye from a long, long way off. To this day the only thing I remember about the guy is that he rides a cruiser and has that yellow helmet. I don't even know what his jacket looks like.
