My last ride ended in a head-on with a car coming the other way overtaking without seeing me
Ouch. That's heavy. I can understand the case. Experienced a similar thing out with riding with some people, so now ride at a significantly less rabid pace. Bikes are bikes, and life is leaps and bounds more important.
If anything my good man, you sure do have a couple of beauties to look at. It's a hell of a leap in design but the influence is undeniable.
I love how there's essentially nothing below the seat apart from exhaust.

I have a friend who's been storing his Panigale with me for the last year, and has just added this. The 749 hasn't been registered in the UK yet. He's very trusting - I have the keys and alarm/immobiliser fobs in the house and an invitation to help myself, but I haven't. My last ride ended in a head-on with a car coming the other way overtaking without seeing me. It wasn't my first accident, but the only one when I genuinely thought I was going to die.
