The more I look at this, the better it gets. That tail is super-sexy, is it MUCH different to the OEM lines? The way the tail is silver with a black seatpad and gloss black contrasts really accentuates her "figure" I think, or am I rambling again?!

Anyway I've poked around a bit more and have found that she seems to have been built by RBT Moto, and I've found a TL/R trackbike by them over at http://www.mototuning.com/rbt which shows another bellmouth option for keeping the ram air.

I know that it is an old thread, but I found a link of a review of this bike. I've put it on translate and you can understand most of it.

It also says all the extras and work that has been done to it, and oh my, it's a lot!
The major ones of them are
-Front forks from 996R with changed internals
-Triple clamp by RBT
-Titanium calipers :shock:
-Rear swingarm from Aprilia RST Futura with custom eccentric hub
-Rear shock from Bimota SB8R
- Tuned Suzuki TL-R Engine (the dyno says V-Raptor 106 hp, TL-R 111 hp and this monster 120 hp! :shock: )
-Remodelled and removable aluminum rear subframe :shock:
-Handcrafted bigger airbox
-Handcrafted exhaust
-Magnesium wheels
.....
Proper drooling...
It's too racy for my style and from the dyno, you can see that the engine has lost the smoothness of the original v-raptor but still, the work that has been done to it is amazing...
