GoBike with strange looking mudguards

This 9 speed GoBike is for sale on fleabay :-

https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Go-Bike-Motion...ht_1419wt_1165

The showroom has fitted some SKS mudguards (as Le Groupe Go never came up with any workable ones!)

Makes it look very odd. It's priced @ £650

text says that the mudguards will not be supplied and only to show the ideal mount of those.... I tend to differ. why it is a couple inch up the seatpost is nuts to start out with, it should fit even lower to the frame .. the way they show it is less than ideal the closer to the wheel the better ... but they have probably never ridden a bike in the rain

why are people writing such nonsense :
it is a serious bicycle. Its appeal lies in its harmonious balance between aesthetics and technology. Inspired by biomorphic lines, the design blends in high-tech features like a one-size-fits-all compact frame geometry,

does this overbearing marketing hype straight from the 70ties make anybody cringe ? Or is it something people expect to read ?
Does that fit in any age class of potential buyers ? like 20 to 30 or rather 30 to 50 or 40 to 60 ....
who likes language like that ?

Just interested in no way negatively against the bike , its a looker for sure :-)
