It's a no from me.

[MrLongbeard]

Holy crap, it's like batman and darth vader had a child and that child had a stroke :barf:

[Supermofo]

Alfonso looks very sad from the front

[Taipan]

Hideous!

[Rockburner]

nice work, but I really don't see the point, it's unusable as a form of transport.

[Count Steer]

Well, it's different, so I'll give it a for that.

I'd like to see a bit more mudguard(s) but overall it's a 'heck, why not?'

[cheb]

It needs a way wider rear tyre to cope with all that throbbing power.

[DefTrap]

I'd change the front end (or at least raise those droopy headlights) and probably give it a different paint job. Ask me again after.

But the main problem is that while I'm ok with the side-on view, it looks really terrible from the front, and the back, and from the 3/4 view.

[Rockburner]

Incidentally - is it only me that's seeing a join right in the middle of that 180 degree bent tube on the front of the girder forks? Why not make that out of one tube??

[Lutin]

Why?

[Skub]

I'd ride that for sure.

[mangocrazy]

I'd reserve judgement until I'd established whether the riding position is viable or not. I'd also much prefer it with a conventional swingarm. It would look better, be stronger and weigh a fair bit less. Not sure about those wide bars either, but I guess you don't want the engine to be the widest part of the bike.

As for looks, I don't mind it at all. I'd probably get the seat re-upholstered in black, mind you.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

It's got the face of an evil rabbit

[Noggin]

I'm normally a serious fan of fugly bikes

But this has confused me. It's so very fugly I should love it. But I really really don't.

Does it come un the heading of "you may be able to, but sometimes you shouldn't" ??

That seam would just eat away at me if i owned it.

This is what happens when you use crayons to design a project.
Some excellent engineering in there, but, only a mother could love it!

A skim of filler would have fixed that.

[Bigjawa]

That makes Jo Brand look like Claudia Schiffer.

So bad it’s good
