Loose the phone mount and give me an asbestos right boot and I'd ride it.

Too noisy and the ground clearance is :(

Didn't we do this one last week?

There's a nice MT07 on bikeexif, if it wash for this dashed idleness I'd post it.

Pass the earplugs.

Otherwise, I quite like that.

They photoshopped out the rider's boot very well in the photo where it's meant to look like it's rideable.

I'm torn on this one.

It's rough-looking and black (all bikes should be black) - I like that.
It's a harley, you're just asking for trouble with that motor - I don't like that.
They've gone to some effort to keep it looking obviously like a Harley, rather than just a motor in a frame - I like that.
Pretty sure I don't need to hear those exhaust to know that, with that motor, your ears and possibly all your other organs will just bleed out - I don't like that.

Overall, undecided.

That's one of my pet hates. You plonk something sensible back and front on that it wouldn't look amiss. I'm thinking Guzzi Lemonesque for example.
