Can't decide if I like it or not, but the article says Chuck did the cylinders, so it's got that going for it!
Keiths a great guy, ive seen that bike in person at deals gap.
Not particularly my cup of tea but his work is always top notch.
Pretty brutalist, but I bet it goes like stink if in proper tune. Something about the geometry doesn't look right to me, but it's basically impossible to tell by looks alone so I could be full of dookie.

Forks too long, too much trail. Bike looks like it doesn't know whether it wants to be motard or a road racer
Bike looks well made, but I dont think that a Honda motocross bike frame was the best platform to build it on.
Saw it for sale for quite a while, but Im not sure if it ever sold.
it handles well, he knows what hes doing but it def looks like it would be twitchy. its not.
looks... cool. those pipes, really interesting how flat they are on the bottom.
I'd ride it!
Just to feel it. :metal:
:agree: well, yeah!
