I love the HP bikes, but my preferred 4 cylinder doesn't really have cylinders.

no particular reason.
The bigger light is thelow beam and helps spread the light better. The tiny one is the high beam

I'm sure if you asked one of the engineers about this, they would probably tell you that it saves .003 grams of weight or something like that. A bike like the HP4 and the S1000rr it's based on are all about saving weight (more so the HP4). And as Peter Black, SV Wrangler said, BMW has made it part of the bikes design.
tl;dr - it saves weight and stands out
