In addition items mentioned by other posters, you are definitely missing fender. What self respecting Fred owns a bike with no fenders?
Also, you lack an A/C system (read: spray bottle) and there is no Air Zound apparent in the photograph.
The bike and attached lights look distinctly storebought, and...dare I say...new.
