,,If the link works... That looks like a CB550 behind the fairing and there is certainly a B for Bimota on the fairing. A quick look on Wiki doesn't show a CB550 Bimota though. Exhaust looks loud..and great patina. It would be an uncomfortable ride home thought. Someones shed build?

Several other bikes pictured are not exactly what they are described as, a triumph with end of title as a triton, not a Norton frame
-
Definitely a "ringer" just std Honda frame (you can see the rear pressed steel footrest hangers) in a "frock" to imitate a real Bimota.
There were a few of this type of modified around in contemporary times.

It's not ugly....in a rough sort of way .... but the price is!
It also looks rather unloved and wanting some TLC
-
Io my eyes its an ugly, dis-jointed mess! And as has been said, standard frame based special
-
A sheep in wolfs clothing it may be, but its got some nice goodies on it. Wheels, brakes, rearsets, forks (?), and of course bodywork. I'm not sure how well it do a U-turn, where does the speedo go o full lock? or if its fairing frame mounted do the forks hit it? sortable though.
Interesting bike, not so the price :o

The wheels appear to be Laverda made FLAM's.
