The welding on the tank looks awful. CB750/900 tank I think.

This may sound odd: that tank really does suit that engine.

The tank's good, one of my favourite looks was Honda's Eurostyle, it's the welding on the filler cap(s) that terrible.

I think the welding might be deliberately bad, I think they've tried to go for an industrial / utilitarian look.
I quite like it apart from the forks and filler cap

LOL. Just spotted the cig lighter sticking out the side of the headlight too*. :lol:

Now that's rebellious. :D

I like the raw metalwork as a theme, it's sort of mad-max-y.

But the overall design is a hideous lash-up of a 100 different ideas. The front-end shrouding and moped headlight are a particularly awful combination.

That stupid balloon front tyre just makes me want to stab someone.

It would certainly gather a crowd at any bike meet - too bad it isn't road legal. Quite like the deliberately ugly look and bits like the AP Lockheed 6-pots.

But I'd like to know how much was spent on it - a pretty penny, I'd bet. Ironic that any well-maintained Aprilia Falco could be acquired for a couple of grand and would outperform that bike in every single area you can think of.
