It may he been ok before the crash.

I quite like the headlamp unit but there just looks like there's a massive bit missing around the radiators. Having pink coolant on display is a huge no no.
Lower silencer needs to be at the same angle as the upper one.
This is an excellent example of why pro designers use clay models before they actually start cutting metal and molding plastic...

Some bits look ok. Wheels, tyres and ... well that's about it, really.

It's a horrible looking motor, it looks like it's halfway through a rebuild. There's no getting around that unfortunately.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Paint looks OK, but the wrong colour.

I think it looks pretty good from exactly head on, but the wonky reservoirs are a bit shit.

But yeah.....s'not an engine that will ever look good naked!

I like the brown seat

It's VILE!

Looks like someone did a trolley dash through Plumb Centre and even the fairing looks like it was made by Armitage Shanks.
So thats a No from me then. Was a nice looking bike, now not so much.

OK, I was lying

That's an unusual paddock stand. I thought at first a pipe had fallen off the far side of the bike....

If ever a bike needed a fairing.

Wrong on so many levels. I can't find anything positive to say about any of the custom parts. What a waste of time, effort and money.

I don't think any of the water cooled Ducati sports bikes make a good naked custom. Too many pipes and radiators. Even the earlier water cooled Monsters like the S4 didn't look quite right in stock form, the later water cooled Monsters got loads of plastic to cover them up.
