Idk looks like a keda pipe and no chain conversion. I don't know if they left the stock belt or not but I thought they all went to a chain.

... and not much of a "factory" bike, either. It's difficult to believe this was a DSB bike... maybe a Moto-ST bike, but then I think the exhaust is wrong for that.

The rear sets, the stock clip ons, the lack of a chain drive, etc. It's just hard to imagine this is what hit the grid.

Doubt it was ever on a grid, unless it was a club race for a test or shake down or a track day.

I would rather have seen a picture of where the VIN was supposed to be.

> Doubt it was ever on a grid

I'm sure that was the case. Look at the stock geometry, shock, and total lack of race-level use of the rotors.

This is street poser with a racer's take off fairing.

It was a bike Shawn Higby carried in his race trailer. Basically a parts mule/spare chassis. It did run, was stock IIRC
