It's ok, but there's nothing really striking about it.

I actually like that (apart from the balloon tyres)

|I think it's well done for that sort of bike , looks good
Shame it's such an uninspiring engine in it, but the engine is a major part of the looks so I can understand it, and it'd still sound good.

I like it! But I would want a wider seat. I would probably spoil it and put a round headlight on as well.

I think it's better looking than most new bikes out there.

Cool.
You don't see many XVs done that style.

I don't think it would take a massive effort or cost to build something similar, XVs seem to be plentiful and cheap, the only frame mod is the seat subframe, and you could get away with doing that without any welding, if I had the time and the space I'd make one.
