twin headlights

...again: what's with moto mfgs going with one headlight on only in low beam when there's two head lights on the bike?...it still sucks asthetically and diminishes bike conspicuity during day-light hours on a street bike....

...do you like it?...or do you hate it?...

(the new Ducati 1098 comes to mind)

...what do you like about it?...do you ride at night up in the twisties?...how much does that one single low beam's light patteren that's already offset to one side of the bike affect what you can and cannot see in the turn when your bike is banked over on the lighted side?...try it and report back to us, please....
