I don't think that is much of an issue. It hasn't been in previous versions, but then again this is a front heavy bike so usually not the best thing for riding in mud.
I don't understand why they made the front so boxy, though. The gas tank is a similar chape and size than the one before, and the radiators seem to be similar too, that might be just a big empty are inside those plastic panels in front of the side roundel. Looking at it from the side, from the engine back it looks a lot less like a BMW and a lot like a Crosstourer, which is a fine bike but not the same think.
It is a really ugly bike, and from what I've seen online, it is also a very difficult to operate thing, similar to a smartphone on wheels.
