This is a weird one... sb6 that's been fitted with a single exhaust on the RH side.
The description is worth a read. 6 speed, desmo cams

My opinion, …That exhaust doesn't do the bike well … it looks … strange.
The wheels are okay.
Fairing indicators … mmm I don’t know…
6 gears, probably they count neutral also. 
Almost 150 bhp at the wheel…. Not bad…
Cams …… very special.

Yeah I don't like the exhaust at all. I don't like the indicators either and am not a fan of the polished frame.
I think the dealer got the specs confused between a GSXR and a Ducati. Might not have been able to get his head around an Italian bike with a 4 cyl 1100 in it

This one's now reduced to 8k. Getting more realistic but still too high IMO. Too many things that don't look right. I suspect it's been down the road at some point.

150 hp is more than standard, maybe they took original pipes off to increase the airbox. Maybe they're measuring at the crank ?
