My eyes.

[KungFooBob]

This one is betterer, cos it's got a brown seat.

Looks like it goes as fast backwards as it does forwards.

He's spent thousands of pounds and has reduced the value of a GTS1000 by even more. Just because you can does not mean you should.

[DefTrap]

Well I quite like it.

Obviously it needs more workmanlike wheels and shabbied down a few degrees

Yikes! Looks like the post -write-off pictures.

[Rockburner]

It looks like it's lost it's wallet.

But the crappy fairing was only a tenner off AliExpress

[G.P]

fairing spoils it, a Z1-R unit would have been suited.
The rear is nice an neat but you won't fit a number plate traditionally and a side fitted plate will look gash.
I'm with @mangocrazy, shouldn't have used a GTS1000, he could have used any old Jap IL4 and stuck a different front end on it and saved a classic.

[Supermofo]

I actually think I quite like it

Neat tyre warmers

[Mr. Dazzle]

Yeah I quite like that.

Headlight fairing needs some thought, but if you ignore that bit the first side on shot looks great. RB is right, it looks like it's trying to find something it dropped. The overall stance looks brilliant though IMO.
