Last one is definitely class. Front tyre looks a little big and the bar a tad too high but it looks great.
First one looks like a stock bike that lots of bits fell off and they are not clipons just banged down with a hammer. More neglect and abuse than custom.
Second bike is interesting - like drag bike meets Dynasty shoulder pads. Think it belongs in a Guggenheim. The frame looks way to bendy for the back wheel and swing arm.97 R1100R

1 & 3 look amateur, though 3 is much better than the hacksaw and rattle can of 1. 4 seems fairly well polished (except the open pipes) but is uninteresting. I'd have to say that 1,3 & 4 look like bikes for posers. They've just been rearranged a bit to get a certain look without actually making the bike better for something other than hoping to get an ego stroked at bike night.
2 is an interesting track bike with some serious suspension upgrades and a distinct look. That would be worth taking for a spin.Dogma

None really float my boat too much. Regarding the first..I dig a machine that has true patina from a life on the road. I absolutely detest manufactured patina. That one clearly is the second.sigpic

Well at least I know honesty aint lacking around here
Each to their own I guess, I just like the fact that a few guys that dont have too much experience decided to make their bike their own.
I dont agree with them all but def not:
Uncomfortable.
Unrideable.
Unsightly.
Ugghhh.
Sorry if any of them is yours, but ... you asked.
Anyway I enjoy negative feedback, helps me realize I am in deed UNIQUE
