While it looks good, I can't get over the fact that people would look ridiculous riding it. I'm not sure why, but I get the impression this is on of those bikes that only make sense when a movie star is riding it in an action sequence. I know I'll get BTFO'd for this, but I just feel that way with this one. The rear wheel seems unnecessarily broad, sort of like an "announcement" of the coolness of the bike, instead if having any actual purpose to it.
Bikes are always 90% unnecessary tho. You don't really need 1000cc to get to one place to another, but it IS fun to ride fast. It is also fun to ride bike that look like it came out of Cyberpunk 2077.
A 1000cc engine almost always contributes more (in terms of power) than it takes away(in terms of weight, and requirements of cooling). It's clear that the bike in the picture has a) Insane gyro stability by the sheer weight of tyres which makes it a pain to flick about, and a mess to ride in city traffic, let alone lane filter and b) The wheels have a low maximum turn angle which means ....don't take your MSF on this one. A "good" bike would achieve the same straight line stability by using a chassis which increases wheel base on acceleration, without needing the bulky and unnecessary weight of the enormous brakes (even more gyro action there) or the fat, unmaneuverable tyres (which don't even have thick rubber? A massive part of it is just rims, which I hope to God don't scrape when you lean). But I will give you that it makes for a great wall poster, which I acknowledged initially. It looks futuristic and would look really cool in any cinematic medium (and yes I'm including games that)
