I like it. I think it would look good with the rear wheel partially covered up also.

Looks similar to the old 'dust bin' fairings that were outlawed because they were not very wind friendly. Does that swingarm look a bit fragile to you?

I don't like it either.
That front may act like a sail when you are going real fast, and try and turn.

The Porsche Lazer 917 used an almost exact duplicate of that paint scheme including the Gulf sponsors. It looks a bit too retro for me.

ewwwwww... I think it looks hideous. The fender is downright ugly and sticks out, maybe if the other was like it, it would look more even. Also the paint they used is terrible looking. Orange and blue should never go together like that. The swingarm looks ugly and outdated, too, it doesnt look modern at all. Also, is it me, or is that tail section different? I know its not a GenII, but it looks flat and un-curvey, not bulbous like a GenI, which is the most defining aspect of the looks of a Busa. The fender looks impractical for the street. I think maybe it would be at home in a bike show as a radical design, but it wouldnt win, and I would never even sit on the thing.
