I was at a stop light yesterday and this bagged Harley is next to me. What captures my eye are the two gold anodized shock reservoirs on the rear fender. Ohlins no less. Is this lipstick on a pig (hog)? I really don't understand the Harley thing but I really don't understand Ohlins on one even more.
Not my photo but from Google:

I have a one million dollar bill with somebody's picture on it. I bought it on Venice Beach and paid only a dollar! Good return. I'd post a pic but I don't want to start a E36 M3 show and have this thread locked.

There is a Bagger Racing League. I... I just don't know. In any case, your sighting might have been inspired by it though it probably wasn't an actual racebike. I think they've gone all hollow-carbon-fiber-bags and so forth. I think I preferred Top Gear's motorhome races or what have you. I think the baggers are too serious and expensive to be as silly as they are.

Hmmm. Nozzles are in the flight position. Canopy and ejection seat are gone. No obvious sign of heavy impact or high speeds.
My guess: Lost power and ran of the end of the runway, pilot ejecting when he ran off.
Regarding recent notes on planes lost to crashes (although I suspect some of these are battle damage related):
