Same reason why x-person thinks something is gorgeous and y-person thinks it's hideous.
It's all subjective.

The ones on the new fireblade are barely noticeable they're so nicely integrated. Looking forward to the 44teeth superbike shootout.

My thoughts are that its a bit of a marketing miss. They could have made them much more integrated with the design, at present they stick out like dogs balls. I know something about foil design and tbh, it's a bit of head scratcher why they went for this complicated route. I know the rules dont allow a lot of freedom but check the simplicity of the Suzuki
Sure higher speeds in motogp but not a lot different where it matters. I think in the end we will accept it and move on but right now its an ugly solution.

For what it's worth, take a moment to read about how the wings help the riding experience - explaining the difference between the new wings on the 2020 Superleggera V4 versus the different wings on the 2020 Panigale V4 and the no wings on the 2019 Panigale V4.
I believe the wings serve a purpose. That said, from a purely aesthetic perspective, I despise the look of these aero wings.
But when I'm riding, I don't care as much because I'm more focused on enjoying the riding experience.

And maximum respect for anybody who buys one of these and rides it the way it’s meant to be ridden!

Thanks for posting that link. 50kph corners are well within on-road riding so nice to know they actually do something. I don't mind the standard wings but the Superleggera setup would be OTT for me. And if the biplane wings are even better I wonder why they don't use it in this year's WSBK. When Aruba ran the Anniversario livery the wings were red - thought that looked good.

I love the colour matched wings. Mines going to be mineral white like a BMW

The superleggera doesn't meet the number of units sold to be homologated into WSBK. And there is also a price cap at 40 or 45k USD

the SL wings were originally on the 2016 MotoGP bike....which were banned by the rules for the following season
