Those images make it look a lot fatter in the front - maybe CG with exagerated perspective?

This photo of it in "real life" shows the front to be narrower http://photos.motorcycle-usa.com/IMG_3660ed.jpg but I still have to wonder what's under all that stuff at the front.

I don't think I would want to carry a load in there - right over the front wheel (except for light stuff like helmets )...
