In some instances it looks good, in most is looks terrible.
I voted no

Personal taste, it suits some bikes/colours and it doesn't suit others.

Hell will freeze before I put it on my bike. Absolutely not.

I like it

I wouldn't remove it if the bike came from the factory with it. Do R6's come with red? I think

But I wouldn't put it on - likely to be all wonky.

Possibly consider the reflective kind that is invisible in daylight if any at all.
