It was still a decent deal considering the components it came with.

There is no lateral strength in the direction the motor rotates when it applies torque to the chain.
The motor is able to apply torque across the front and lower motor mounts, which lave less leverage over the top of the engine , the part that rocks the most!
The traditional design like the original oem headstay is much stronger in all the angles required.
The result was this frame that was repaired so many times ther was nothing left to fix. It needed replacement:

I am deeply disturbed to own such a wreck of junk, but as I said, the bike was a decent deal, and I knew i would be cutting the cradle out of it and replacing it all.
