I'm not feeling it, but it doesn't matter what I think.

Looks like you put Brembos, Ohlins, and wheels on an old gas heater.
Where's the pilot light?

Good call

It looks uncomfortable as hell, is way too expensive, and I'd hate to be on it in a heavy crosswind. Do not want.

There's plenty of bikes with clipons that low, in relation to the seat.

The real problem with that bike, besides looking fucking dumb, is that the fuel tank is shaped incorrectly. It is sloped forward too much at the crotch, which would not provide enough support to the rider.
