Bars way too high and swingarm way too long , but overall a cool build. With that long wheel base its most likely stable at speed but rake angle is steep kinda of a strange combination. I would like to ride/slide it thru some turns to check it out.

yeah, that rake angle looks like it would be scary on the highway, looks more like a flattrack bike, but those don't use front brakes.
Not every custom builder gets everything right, but would love to have that engine, maybe in a GPZ or CB550 frame.
Cheers!  Cool

I think I like the rear fender , but wonder why there's not a front to match ?   Everybody gets caught in the rain eventually !  Roll Eyes

Like a hill climber trying to be a tracker. The visual weight of the bike is front heavy and not balanced.  Basically I like the tank and seat (even though the seat is way to short for the long swingarm.). There are other cool bits here and there but it just doesn't all come together IMO.  And I hate the stupid pedal on the kickstarter.  #hipsterbike

We've seen much better builds right here on this forum IMO.  Art is more than skills and a pile of fancy parts.

I did not notice the pedal on the kick starter.
I'm sure it for riders with webbed feet. Huh

Lots of nubs on those new tires......maybe the photos were taken right after they were installed and the article was written.

It could be one of those larger paperweights that gets built but is never ridden.

I gave it a look. It's no fantasy of mine.
