What does the X-ADV Special Edition's post-apocalyptic design do to its functionality?

The Honda X-ADV Special Edition is first and foremost defined by its post-apocalyptic aesthetic. It’s certainly an impressive-looking bike, but there has been a lot of discussion about how these design choices might affect the bike’s practical use. The extra styling elements, however, concern some riders who fear they might interfere with aerodynamics, weight distribution, or even visibility. Some say that the rugged look may actually give you some additional protection in certain riding conditions. And for that, there’s the question of how these design elements will age and endure with regular use. If you are considering this bike or just interested in motorcycle design, what do you think about this balance of form and function? Do you believe the post-apocalyptic styling aids or harms the X ADV's capacity as an adventure scooter?
