I like everything except the seat. Shouldn't have the steep angle of attack.
Looks wrong and would cause the rider to fight the tendency to slide forward.

Agreed. Everything else looks super nice!

Agreed x3!  Nut buster.

$50K into the bike!  Making a tank and seat out of solid billet (via 5 axis CNC) sounds incredibly time-consuming and wasteful of material, but I bet you can get a VERY precise shape.  It does have nice TIG welds though.
