The VFR1200 will most likely have a gasbag riding it, what does it need an airbag for?

After reading TFA I actually think this might be a good idea. Better protection in one of the most occurring two-vehicle crash for motorcycles is a good thing to strive for.
 
Patent sketches are usually a bit endowed, but Honda's look fairly well scaled. I'm on the fence about that air bag...it may be the safest design, but what about a tank bag on it??

Maybe we're seeing the world's first "5 star rated" motorcycle? :D
