Useful for spare parts maybe?
Except the mirrors, obviously.

at least its got road tyres.
Never like lower bodywork on a naked bike, it just makes the top half look unfinished.
Similarly the numberplate arm looks like an afterthought, and the tail end of the seat needs a little something just to finish it off (like, maybe, a number plate hanger?), just to at least get the top of the tyre covered.

You're a weird bunch... whilst not all of it may be completely to my taste, it's bloody stunning IMO !

If they'd removed the rear foot rest hangers and braced the swingarm, maybe.

Other than the stupid rear plate holder, I'd be very happy owning that!

I wanted to really like it but every detail shot just made me think it's trying way too hard.

It's a shame to cover the lower part of the engine like that.
Why try so hard, but not cut off the pillion peg hangers? Let's be honest, no one's sitting on the back of that.

Looks quite 'muscular'. A few detail bits I'd change - mirrors=bin (obvs), number plate hanger behind the seat, engine cowl...hmmm, and what is it with all these bikes that have the headlight heading for the front wheel? They remind me of Derek Randall, the cricketer that always looked like he'd left the coat hanger in his shirt. But overall

And they can be taken off again and thrown away.

...ish.
I remember when I used to slide around on things like those.
