I actually like most of it. I'd change the tail section to H2R, use a friction drive for the rear wheel, instead of the chain, or, shaft drive, single shock rear, and, build a Morbidelli 850 V8 inspired EFI V10 or V12 for it, with either a 7 speed, or 6 speed automatic trans as well.

I would definitely leave it either unpainted carbon fibre, or painted a 3 mile deep high gloss black ONLY.

A 400 lb. Bike with a 200 hp V twin, maybe fun for the 1/4 mile

John Deere fans won't be the only ones that like it.
