You'd be thinking twice if you put any last-gen Ducati model next to the Panigale. Cleanest silhouette I've ever seen on a bike.
And yeh the mirrors actually DO work! Too bad those are the first things I remove on all my bikes.lol

I thought the same thing when i first saw the first official photos. But since then, the overall look of the bike has grown on me. The side profile is just sexy to me. No other way of describing it.

And yes, functional mirrors almost never look good, lol.
