Does that huge single sided front disk have any real benefit over two standard size disks? Are they the only company to do that?

Weight reduction, better heat dissipation.

Rear brake looks so small it would just about be as effective as a drum brake. Very expensive bike compared to the competition!

Actually the heat dissipation similar to a standard twin disc setup. The major benefit of having the weight near the rim is no torosional load on the wheel hub which means the wheel and braking package can be much lighter. The braking system alone is 30% lighter than a twin disc setup.

Nothing turns like a ZTL equipped Buell.

When compared to a Japanese inline 4 maybe, but certainly not when compared to a KTM RC8R or Ducati 1199 Panigale, as they are the main competition in the V-Twin category.
