I like some of the touches he's done on this. The exhaust in particular i think suits the XSR.

It's just a de-faired abarth with a wrapped/painted tank and gold highlights.
It IS nicely executed though, nice and subtle

Yep,looks a bit steampunkish. Black and gold is timeless.

I've said it before on XSR threads a few times. These bikes look miles better in the flesh than they do on pics. The flat side profile is not their best look.
