Everyone loves a sports classic, but that is a mess. The engine is too big and busy for that bike.

That's not an engine for a naked bike,it has no aesthetic appeal whatsoever and ought to be hidden away behind a fairing. The whole thing has an air of an unfinished project.
Visually there's nothing I like and I have my doubts about whether I'd enjoy the ride either.

How to take a good looking bike and turn it into an uncoordinated mess. Every change he's made has been for the worse.

The bike's owner/creator is apparently an architect. Doubt I'd want to live in any house he's designed.

Looks like they took the forward facing tank shrouds styling cues from a Guzzi Breva, the ugliest part of an ugly motorbike.
