Your argument would be much more convincing if not for the MV in the background reminding is what stunning actually looks like

that tank doesnt look too friendly no harsh braking on that bike if you value the family jewels ouch.

The tank doesn't cause any issues when riding or braking hard

yeah right you dont shove angles like that in front of the rider without affecting summat

I have a tornado and it really doesn't have an affect.

If you're sliding into your tank when you brake then you should try gripping the tank with your knees

how do you move about on the bike with that in the way.

It ain't in the way, try siting on one or even blagging a test ride, honestly mate it causes no issues at all.
