That bike looks weirder than a Vincent Black Prince. Looks like an upside-down plastic bathtub.

Man that thing needs a LOT of work before it should be allowed outside. But its not so bad it can't be fixed.

that just may be the most butt-ugly bike I've ever seen.

I guess if a Dalek from Dr. Who got frisky with an Ironhead....that might be what the offspring resembles.

different strokes for different folks-
and that bike, in my mind- is a masterpiece
not my style, but I surely appreciate the innovations and style of the design.
I've always thought Arlen Ness was as innovative as they come- some of his bikes are nothing short of awesome ("mass" produced custums impress me not) but whoever built that, is right up there with Arlen.
Kudos to the builder.
I'm am curious about the comment made about "a lot of work before taking outside"? How so?

I mean its FUGLY....engine frame and wheels are OK...but everything on top of the frame needs removed and sent to the crusher and replaced with better looking stuff.
I looks to me like someone actualized a drawing a 10 year old drew after watching a Dr. Who marathon.
To me its so bad it practically provoked physical wretching. Or dry heaves.
Or in other words....its way beyond simply "not my taste" and WELL into "someone please rescue that poor thing" territory.
I guess you can say it provoked a very strong opinion.....like few others have done.
