You can not beat the look of the air cool Sportster's engine.

That bike looks like once they came to trying to package the exhaust and radiator, the designers threw their hands in the air and just gave up.

With those vestigial "fenders" it's all fun and games until it starts to rain. Why can't we have functional fenders on motorcycles anymore?

Feel free to show us your design that keeps the engine cool enough to control NOX emissions.

Sorry, but that bike makes me want to puke.
The only redeeming quality that I can see, is that the front tire isn't a skinny rubber band.
Everything else sucks.
That exhaust appears to have been 'borrowed' from a Power Wheels scooter.

It just looks like a whole bunch of blah, no definition to the bike at all.

Exhaust should go low.

Looks like a motorcycle that was crashed and the owner just took off parts instead of fixing it.
