Well you have your opinion, but I disagree. The construction is crude at best, ridiculously overweight, and that's with undersized bicycle-based components. There were a few things regarding alignment that could have been MUCH more thoroughly explained, which invites end-result-hobbling mistakes. And the hub motor relegates this to local city knock-around duty, not a proper motorcycle with decent road manners. (Too much unsprung weight.)
Th whole point of this approach is easy construction, which is in fact valuable. It is quite possible to make a much more elegantly executed motorcycle with very little more effort than this one, but the author didn't go the extra mile to explain what's critical, what's not, why, and how - specifically - to do it right in a simple, straightforward, bench-top-and-hand-tools manner. Also, take it from someone who's been there - this is a massive, months-long project involving a huge amount of handiwork. Even with plans and extensive instructions. With that kind of investment you want an end result that's really right. And keep in mind that licensing a special-construction motorcycle can be a challenge all on its own, a challenge that varies widely from state to state. Close but no banana.
