That is Claudio.  He speaks very good English.  He has lots of very nice parts and bikes and will ship anywhere.  He has been there seen it done it having run a GP team in the 80s and then in the 90s.  He seems to know everyone!

Looks like Quadzilla top on RM500 bottom, water pump running off the crank in the breeze could be anything....but really like it

Have a close look at the head and cylinder, looks custom made. Water jackets welded onto original cylinder?

Yeah maybe, head looks different to the water cooled Buzuki one. Cool bike if you really want something different.
