Bit samey.

Not sure the headlamp looks good that low. Also the pinlining on the headlamp shroud isn't matching the angle of the pinlining on the tank.

I'm sure the detailing is nice though.

Is the riding position that bad? Could be just that the rider is a shortarse? Look at his diddly little arms.
