Makes me want a 2-valve air-cooled machine to play with. But I'd probably just screw it up. Takes a lot of talent to make something look simple.

I understand the retro look, but this machine goes a little too much for "the look" and not enough for function. That windshield, for example, is way too low to work in deflecting wind from the rider's body. The shrouded taillight, lack of rear turn signals (arguably more important than those on the front) and forward-mount license plate are also too much of a tradeoff for style. I like the concept, but the execution is lacking. One can do this and create a more rideable machine.
