As an engineer, I get this bike. Maybe the styling is over the top, but that huge air intake is there to provide the lungs a motor this big needs. Same with the exhaust.
My 'other' street bike is a Suzuki Hayabusa. Pop the tank up on that thing and the air box is positively huge, sort of like on this new FXDR, except there's no place to hide it on the Harley.
This bike was built for performance within the confines of the big HD engine design. It's the 'normal' Harleys that are compromised for performance to keep the aesthetics.
Said another way, form follows function.

All sound, and no ground.
