Massive case of style over substance.
Its trying very hard to look cool ... and therefore it fails, for that very reason.
Folk probably sn1gger when he isn't looking (look at the final pic where its being ridden).
Worse still, I can see no engineering advantage whatsoever for the frame design.
In fact, I seriously worry that there is a significant engineering disadvantage.

What is the point of that massive front structure around the oil cooler ?

Fat tyre ruins the handling and throws extra road crap and water through the holes in the stupid seat .... that's cool, eh ?
Pointlessly "stealth" tank.
Filters to mimic horns ... come on, grow up.

One of the things that I love most about the std monster design is that its style arises from and is inherent in the engineering itself.
Doing it the other way round, you're just painting pretty pictures.
