Looks like good components artistically arranged to look vaguely like a motorcycle

[Count Steer]

Trying to find something positive to say....and failing.

I can't even say 'nice colour'.

About the best I can do is 'a whole lot of skill has been wasted making that'.

[DefTrap]

It's ok but I wouldn't ruin a nice honda with a shitty monster engine. Not that it's a honda, but they started it.

[Supermofo]

All looks out of proportion. A lot of work has gone into it, but it doesn't look right at all.

[KungFooBob]

I've seen a clear tube used as a rear brake fluid reservoir, mainly on race bikes, but never non-clear tubes used for front brake and clutch!

[Bigjawa]

Looks like a Pythonesque foot has descended from above and flattened it.

Hideous.

[Skub]

It manages the feat of being simultaneously bare,yet busy looking.

Insectile thing going on. I don't think I like it,but I don;t want to set fire to it.

The horrid colours and exhaust bandages go a long way not to help make it nice.

[MingtheMerciless]

Can’t get past the bell mouth in the firing line from front wheel.

Can’t get past the bell mouth in the firing line from front wheel.

Plus a shorty front guard to get more shit into the carb.

[mangocrazy]

My wrists, shoulders and back recoil in horror at the riding position. The bloke who built it is either a masochist (if he's going to ride it) or a sadist (if it's for sale).
11 out of 10 on the Stupid-o-meter for the carb placement (as others have noted). 12 out of 10 as it's feeding both cylinders. 13 out of 10 for the shortie mudguard.
How can anyone spend as much time and money as has gone into that, and then produce something so well executed but so irredeemably shite?

[demographic]

So it seems to have one carb feeding two cylinders, with each inlet gract being vastly different then a short header from the front cylinder and a massive long header from the rear cylinder.
Looking on the bright side, with luck the carbs will catch so much shite from the front wheel that it wont run badly for long.

And people say lecky bikes are ugly.

[Taipan]

That's so left field that I actually like it, even if I'm not quite sure why!
