Why is it that any time there is an article on the front page about the Street family of bikes at least a couple of senior members have to jump in and put down a bike that H-D isn't trying to sell to them? If you are already riding one of the big twins why bash on the bikes that H-D has for beginners? Do you understand that for H-D to remain healthy they need a constant stream of new riders who aspire to someday have one of those big twins? As Johnny Mayday says, the Streets may not be our favorite bikes, they are however the only bikes that are legal for beginner riders in much of the world.
That being said, although it's cool to see what can be done with them I have trouble fathoming why anybody would spend that kind of money modifying a 2015 Street 750. From the sound of the article, the customer really wanted a 750cc bike. I guess using a modern Street makes more sense than starting with an old Honda. When they talk about converting it a mono shock suspension, though, I have to wonder if the wouldn't have been ahead to start with a soft tail frame.

Yes. I also read the text and the linked article. I kind of sort of like the looks of it, although I don't see it as something I would own. At the price they would have to ask for all that custom work I know I wouldn't own it.
