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.
