I think this would look better with an old-school faring on top, like a Ducati one or something like that.  Like ffjmoore's faring.

Some more, I was wondering how they managed to get the power to the rear wheel.. Turbo? I think so...

Interesting seat er I mean bike!
Cafe Racing is mainly a matter of taste. It is an atavistic mentality, a peculiar mix of low style, high speed, pure dumbness, and overweening commitment to the Cafe Life and all its dangerous pleasures. I am a Cafe Racer myself, on some days - and it is one of my finest addictions. ~H. S. Thompson~

I would keep thinking I'm sitting on my wallet or keys.
Maybe there are pants with the opposing ribs that go with the bike. The rider wears them kinda like velcro.

Cute yes, but to make it work for her she'd have to sit side saddle. Okay I'll stop now.
That is a kick arse bike though.

Talent yes but taste no.. at least with this bike. The seat/tank angle is way to drastic and the gap between the wheel and seat looks like #$%*. Exhaust on its own looks cool but on that bike looks like a kid with unlaced shoes (unkept). WTF is the deal with the retarded license plate bracket.. Bike has no flow to it.. probably better then stock though..

Yeah, toying with the idea myself. I love this scheme.
