The bracket mount license plate beats sticking it anywhere near the short tail. (I've personally never been a fan of the fender eliminator look with the license plate sticking out or tucked under.) Without a fender there's just no place to put the plate without it really messing up the lines completely. Plus that bracket styling is far more in vogue with the younger crowd. This bike is more of a modern interpretation of a street tracker from the company that is utterly and completely dominating flat track at this point in time. To me, that's pretty cool regardless of how it looks. I don't see this bike as competing with either the CB1100 or the CB1000R. I'd say it's definitely in a class of it's own. While I wouldn't trade my CB in for one, I can still admire it for what it is, bracket mounted license plate and all.
By the way, for my clarification what was condescending about the photo that was included?
