I like the idea, (There's a Deutz powered one in Germany somewhere that's nice) but the execution of it looks like it was done by a hungover Remploy All-Star with the attention span of a squirrel, and access to a workshop.
EDIT:- German example of how its done properly.

While we generally eschew the efforts of home builders to cash in on the 'on-trend' hipsterised brats, bobbers and cafes this is something quite different - equally absurd and impractical, in fact downright dangerous but in some ways admirable.
This creation appears to be built without any ulterior motive other than 'for a laugh', it will be interesting to see what it actually fetches, as it could have value as a museum piece or trendy shop decoration/art (think that wretched little turd Drew Pritchard)

 Yee God’s!!!
All I can say is what a waste of a static engine and cycle parts.
If that was mine , it’d live under a blanket at the back of the garage for eternity 
Wow!

Admirable fabrication work, but catch your shoelaces in that flywheel and you're in a whole world of trouble.

At no point do you stick a stationary diesel into a bike frame and expect civility, lol. It's going to try to kill you in some fashion... besides, if you have laces, do you not tuck them in to the boot tops? Having your lace catch on your left foot when you're coming to a stop isn't something you want on any bike, modern, classic, or homemade.

Love the plastic water pipes in lieu of cardboard-aid-design  Using the frame as the exhaust system is cheeky!

It's also very refreshing to read something in decent English, with good spelling and punctuation. My only criticism is that he has rather stupidly high hopes in swapping a plastic maggot for any woman, let alone a brace of the calibre he is after.

Not miserable at all. It's the 1993 that's still 1988.  I love it. I could never buy a bike like this, because in my hands it would look so grubby in just a couple of months... |

Someone missed the KM when MOTing it... as its 10k miles on gov site. |
The MOT testers often mis read or miscalulate or interchange m/km on the MOT sheet/Gov website..
Check any vehicle that is just in KM- sometimes it appears on government website as km, sometimes as miles.

That 80's colour scheme is gorgeously horrible
I owned a blue and black ZZR1100 that had pink writing from that era.
