A few styling tweaks and raising it back up by 2" would make it an OK thing, IMO.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

yeah good pics very good presentation indeed and it does have a little classic style reminiscent of the xs650.

 Still im not sure this subject is the best for the intended purpose.
  The Pipe doesn't do a thing for the looks (maybe a chrome underslung chamber) and the rear end treatment  looks like a quick fix tells me this wasn't thought out very well at all. perhaps cashing in on the latest bobber craze.
 Maybe im biased but my baby Vulcan was cheaper than the starting price of this DT and I dare say performs and looks a lot better.
I don't think he is an idiot and im all for modifications and new ideas but....

 Good looking short circuit maybe?

I think the bike looks alright, even if it's not my style of bike. Looks like some good thought and workmanship went into the build of it. Could make a good flat tracker with some tweaks here and there.

Sorry TBM, but I don't see a single thing on that bike that would make it into a good flat tracker...

Is it a vmx bike? , No
Was it posted on this forum by the owner as a VMX bike? , NO.
 It is certainly different but I think far from Bloody idiot. It seems like he has do it as a piece of art perhaps which we all know is subjective to the viewer.
 I would like it if it had rear shocks.
If in doubt ,WIND IT OUT
