Looks a bit disjointed, all 70s top half and modern bottom half. Even the engine looks modern with all the turbo gubbins and bling.

Some work and money invested. I'm on the fence with the visuals...

Nope. Z1R's were the ugliest bike they made back in the day (I've owned three of them), someone decided to make this one uglier. I've seen one with a ZRX fairing which made it far less uglier.
