One of my mates has a 2023 BMW R1250GS. They no longer have a dedicated tail or brake light. It's all in the rear indicators. You can't tell he's indicating when his brake lights go on. Dreadful design.Form

Sleek?
Hand signal for a right turn, to a youngster is just "he's waiving to a friend"
Conspicuity is paramount to motorcyclist survival.
Most sleek/smaller/tucked in turn signals that barely meet legal criteria are safetywise a joke, and look cheesy.
Ford Explorer rear turn signals nestled in a horseshoe shaped stop light are a good example of how NOT to do it.
The separation of signal lights was long ago determined to be visually most conspicuous. Yet, the styling weenies are occasionally allowed to do stupid shit.
