My Z1000 leaves me covered in the same amount of bugs as the ZX-9R full faired bike. So that's not much of an argument.
The only factor is wind blast when you're wearing a bulky set of riding gear. Then a better screen helps a lot at higher speeds to avoid the parachute thing.

Strange front fairing. Anyone else see the resemblance?

Quoted from Motorcycle Daily
"Perhaps the most telling aspect is the use of an engine derived from, and developed in parallel with, the engine powering the all-new 2007 CBR600RR sportbike -- the most advanced supersport engine ever manufactured by Honda!
As you can see from the photos, the styling is rather dramatic. The die-cast backbone aluminum frame is also entirely new, and it has attached to it a new swingarm. New, lightweight wheels contribute to an overall weight reduction of 12 pounds for the bike.
The Hornet will be available with an optional ABS braking system."

Are you talking about the rear fender where the plate and turn signals mount? Yeah you can do that with a fender eliminator. A far smaller bit of sheet metal that you mount the turn signals and plate to it.
I'd like to see the headlight from the front. If it's as "bug like" as the Kawi ER-6N then it would need a quick modification. But other than that I could find happiness with one of these. I love the short muffler.
PS: never mind, just looked at the pics again and I see that you're talking about how the undertail sort of looks like it's floating under the saddle instead of being smoothly integrated. In that case I doubt there's much to be done since the brake light is located in the end of the lower horizontal part of the tail.
But if you installed a cargo rack on the back just behind the saddle it would help to visually tie it in and give you someplace to lash down some stuff in a tail bag.
