It looks like a FZ750 motor... Bimota used the FZR600 engine in their bikes before.

It was a stretch, but not too far. Bimota usually does wacky fromt suspensions with girder like frame work.

On the money (or the same lists LoL)

as you say tough to beat a factory R &D team, but it does show what can be done to a basic bike plus some way out ideas and a pot of cash

The idea of racing it is wild for sure especially since it was an endurance race where the bike is being thrashed by 2 different riders over 8 hours.

Certainly proved it self as nothing major seems to have broken as they finished the race ............. ClapHands

I doubt that front end was the first of its kind, but it's surely not the last:
