As for the bike, could be cool although I will wait to see it in its street legal form with lights mirrors and fenders.
 
I'm trying to figure out how the headlight works.

Square peg of LEDs in a round hole?

No Reflector/lens optics?
 
Looks like clip-ons. It's like a handlebar that they cut in the middle.

The bodywork looks terrible, but the headlamp may work great on my dirt bike as I don't care if it is ugly too.
 
Not exactly my taste, but I doubt the production version will come out like the pictures anyway.
