A simple fairing could be cool, if done right. I like the Sport Classics, including the bullet fairing models, actually.
The seat modules look changeable. Single seat, add on pillion seat with additional support bars... I would think that some sort of tubular steel subframe could even be fabricated after-market to add BMW system case mount points. There is nothing to the seat, besides a few steel tubes for support, and a modular LED tail light unit. It isn't as though there is a lot of mechanical stuff hidden in the tail section bodywork. There is no tail section bodywork.
I could see someone fabbing up a rear subframe for the single and pillion seat units, and system case mounts, straddling over the high exhaust... the low exhaust issue probably depends on the location of the pipes, in relation to the left side case.
Probably could do one with single seat, with top and side cases mounted.
But on some of the renderings, it shows how much space between the oil pan and the rear tire, for an underslung muffler... which would open space on the sides for cases.
But this also isn't exactly an RT model, so a lot of support for big luggage is probably not going to be a huge priority on the list, for a stripped down, inexpensive model.
BTW, I am not on the west coast, otherwise I would love to go to the motorcycle show to see something like this, and more.
BTW, also, the gallery link that I posted above, has larger renderings of most of the individual variations, if you have a particular favorite...
