See while I can appreciated the sheer amount of work that has gone into that, I think hub center steering just looks weird

It sure does. Some of the attraction, for me, is that I've yet to come across many of that style on the road.

The Duke tail is faaaaaar to big and low, but I'd love to oogle it in person

I had a closer look, I thought it was a 916/748 style tail, but it's not

What's the tail off? Bimota or something?

It's Mito front and rear fairings... yes, even the 916 is a rip off.

Wish I had the skill to do shit like this. Been looking for ways of changing the lines on a bike, but fuck it all the nice ways I don't think are in my ability and certainly not got the right gear for some of it.
