It's OK, but that whole exhaust system looks awful.

I know these bikes are form over function,but I always think a set of even slightly raised bars would make me more interested and I doubt if it would ruin the intended aesthetics much.

The usual gripes apply,the lack of front mudguard and any plate hanger is going to change the rear end looks.

The exhaust doesn't look great and it would be unbearably loud,so that needs work too. From the port side,the bike looks quite tidy.
