I wouldn't think any more distracting than a rear view mirror in a car. But with the standard rear view mirror not available on motorcycles, I can see how people would be infatuated with it.

Love the accident they show, lets face it you going into a turn the last thing you do in turn is check mirrors. I was looking at video and ya I do have to take my eyes off road to look behind me, even on that small video. So its just as bad as looking in the stock bike mirrors so whatever. Don't think its worth it
