Vertigo newbie question

Recently bought a brand new 'used' 2017 Vertigo Fajardo 250 with literally an hour or two max on the clock, lucky me.

Anyway, lovely bike but one question about the chain link fastener. It is mounted on the inside of the chain? I have never seen that on a motorbike before. Looks like a pain in the ass to change and was wondering why they chose this 'design"? What's the reasoning behind this akward location.

People do this to save knocking it off on a rock, but if you spit the chain off and it wraps round the front sprocket it can prove a bit of a nightmare if you cannot get to the split link to split the chain if you need to. I have the link pointing outwards and have only lost a split link once in 20 years of riding. You could always keep a split link cable tied to your bike if you were paranoid!
