I am not sure why the sharpest cutoff possible is supposed to be a good thing. Obviously, the direction of the light does need to be limited so it does not go everywhere and blind everyone around, but it seems that a soft gradual cutoff would be much more comfortable on the eyes of the driver and everyone around.
Not that it does not look cool, of course.
As annoying as it is, anything that makes a motorcycle easier to see on the road is good in my books. There are too many drivers that don't pay enough attention.
