It would look better with a larger fuel tank.

With that seat, the limit between stops would be about 10 miles, just the range of that tank. Gotta love a design concept that works together.

I know a motorcycle can be a work of art, but if it goes against the primary thing it was designed for (riding), what's the point?

Just needs panniers, to keep the extra gas supply you going to need with that skinny show tank.
