Give me a couple of decades to study the photos and I'll tell you what I like about it.

Its ugly, its angular, no mudguards, sidepanels and any crap off the back tyre goes straight into the carb and engine.
Plus its got the star spangled banner top yoke and Jesus on the tank.

Its quite possibly as spazzy as its possible to be.

Yes, but do you like it?

There's a lot of time, effort and money gone into making a bike that is ugly, impractical and worse in every possible way than the original.

To avoid any misunderstanding, I don't like it ;)

I can admire the work involved and I'm happy there are folk making interesting bikes,but it's mostly not my cup of tea.

That's truly horrible, and the frame modifications are probably dangerous, though it's quite an achievement to make a GSX1100ET uglier

I would rather the paint incorporated more wizards and elves smoking bongs. Maybe some three wolf moon.

I appreciate the work involved, but that's a mess.

Too many different styles in one bike and a totally inappropriate motor. Too much anodising. Just a slap for billet yokes and another for incorporating the flag.

Pity points earned for Jesus on the tank.

I like the under rail flattanker style tank, we should have more of these, but not like that.

If it was just the silhouette, I'd go for it, but the closer you get .... !!
