Not for me, ta. There's something 1970s formica about the paint job, I'm pretty sure my Nan had a coffee table just like it in her posh front room, but even without it, it's too stumpy/squared off for my taste. I'm going to give it 1 point for having an easy to clean exhaust (even though that looks horrible too).

Maybe it looks better in the flesh but i sispect only slightly.
not to my taste.

I like the....erm...er... I like the tyres.

Ditch the head light as it looks cheap and sort out the tail, I'd rather it was a bit bigger and angular. Other than that I like it.

It's a bit confused about what it is, or at least I am.

Lots of what looks like high end racing stuff like the quick disconnect brake lines and brake disk cooling ducts on a naked that is a hell of a lot uglier than the bike it's based on.

I don't get it, but maybe that's the point of it.

Bit of a dog's breakfast.

I saw this on UKMOC and thought it is just a mess. It’s just the wrong donor bike for this sort of project.
Made worse by the odd paint finish, they would have been just as well recreating burr walnut or Italian marble rather than the scuffed effect they went with. The exhaust is just odd and looks like it cam off something else and been made to fit as it ignores any other flow lines on the original bike.

Oh dear, that's not very nice

Everything about that engine needs to be hidden behind a fairing,or something.

The exhaust looks crap too.

Fun to ride probably,but not to look at.

God, that's horrid.

Took the words right outta my mouth, along with the small amount of vomit that looking at that bike induced

Hideous and that's being polite!

CBA to read the description, but in pretty sure that tank is molded SMC carbon fibre, not a paint finish. Like you get in a alot of lamborghinis these days. In another place/style it might look alot better.

I would look again but I'm afraid I'd poke my eye out on the exhaust.

I usually look at these things and ponder along the lines of 'Why have they done that? What problem have they resolved? What have they improved?'

Sometimes it's weight, sometimes it's the looks, sometimes it's (possibly) handling and very occasionally it might be performance.

Often though it's 'Because I can or because that's the current fashion in customs in this part of the world'.

Sometimes I'll just look and think that looks nice/fun/amusing without a clue as to what the base bike was like to ride.

This one just left me thinking they're really trying too hard....but I can't even work out what they're trying to do. It looks like a fim prop.

It looks like a crash damaged bike sitting in that sad area of the dealers waiting to be repaired It doesn't help that the paint looks like it's covered in scratches

That's a complete waste of a decent motorbike..
