It's silly, that's what is up with it.
Impractical, ugly, and certainly a 'form before function' design, though why anyone would want to put THAT form before anything is beyond me.
No.

Beautiful wasn't the first thing that sprang to mind.  It is different though.

I guess that's like adding extended forks on a hub-steered Bimota.

Well, there's "springer" front ends, and then there are "springy" front ends.  What a weird, if not dumb idea.  As far as "most beautiful"?  :D  :D  :D  what a crock.

Someone out there is going to think that they died and went to heaven when they see that thing....and then probably fork over $100,000 to buy it.

Pass the puke bag someone.

I think it's a parts bike. Could still salvage the Panhead motor.
