that is not a motorcycle, it is an over sized Hot Wheels two wheeled toy.
A motorcycle is a vehicle, it can be ridden from point A to point B, usually in distances that can be measured in more then feet or yards
Let me know when the owner can do a 500 mile day on it without breaking down or crashing it .
Does it have a name? Trailer Queen perhaps?

It's a piece of art that is functional in the sense that it does run and can be ridden. It may not be practical. So what.
The flip side of all this is that it takes no talent to buy a garbage barge with a rubber-mounted motor, and pay someone else to do anything more than add chrome doo-dads.
Why not just appreciate the vision and effort of someone instead of slamming them.
Funniest part to me is that most of the custom items that are now common resulted from guys pushing the envelope with designs that weren't necessarily workable, but gave others ideas. Be glad that's how it was. And be glad it still is that way.

He runs that fully exposed motor, the man is amazing with metal and engineering. Of course you are not riding the damn thing anywhere, but if you do ride it around the block, people will be amazed. I was watching the build on IG, again truly amazing work. Motorcycle art, sure, but more then that with all of the engineering. All of his stuff is way over the top, in a good way. Carry on.

You would have to have a pocket full of rollers for those lifters if you went any farther than around the block. A piece of art, but not my cup of tea.
I have friends that have 18 and 22 inch over front ends on their bikes but they are derakes and they handle pretty well still.
