there's only 2 things I like about that bike:

1) the undertail exhaust
2) the oil tank

those are both sweet!

That oil tank is pretty damn awesome though. Something like that but built to fit the tuber looks would be great.

(I really don't like the stock dip stick...)

I actually really like this.
Its not 100% my style, but its not too bad. And they didnt do anything too much different than the stock bike. The frame and swingarm are still there, so it'd be pretty easy to get back into 'normal' condition at some point if someone wanted.

I just don't "get" it.

Yes, the oil tank is cool.

Yeah, the seat is kind of cool too, but it would be miserable as the leather is mounted directly to the rails your weight will rest on.

Yes, the paint is pretty.

Yeah, the spoked wheels are actually pretty cool.

BUT

That gas tank is hideous! Nasty, ugly, gross!! It doesn't do a thing for or with the lines of the bike.

Fork boots, really?

That box under the engine they put the battery in looks as much of an afterthought as the fuel cell. Just not pleasing to the eye of this beholder.


Edit: That copper treatment is gorgeous, but how well is it gonna weather? It's absolutely a show bike only I think, can you imagine trying to detail copper rimmed spoked wheels after riding in the rain? It disgusts me that a bike that has such rough lines could win awards.

$18G's is a whole lot of money for a bike you can't ride.

Some idiot has actually bid on it!

I would like to have a fantasy to! That someone will buy back to restore it to its former beauty.

p.o.s.
a grand waste of time, money, and a decent bike

to say his design sense is lacking would be a gross understatement
