Tank grips for '05 S4RS?

Aren’t Tank Grips just a bit horrible (spoiling the lovely finish and interrupting the lines of the tank) and unnecessary (how much hanging off do you do?) on a road bike?

I can't ride without tank grips these days, I use my knees to hold on to the bike all the time and control my body position this way. Some of my biker friends ride without the grips and do it well, so to each their own I think.

Looks wise, I think nothing beats the look of a very well used machine, very well looked after too, so it's subjective too

Having said that, I'm all against side or tail panniers as they do ruin the looks a bit too much for me
