What bike is this? - SV650.org

I saw this just sitting there on a recent trip to Cape Town, and fell in love. Took snaps for ID'ing.

Anyone know what bike this is? It obviously doesn't look like a standard of whatever it is, but a start would be great.

Thanks

Dunno... they look like hi/lo projectors (probably HID) in custom made housings. Anyone that was willing to produce these for commonly available projectors could do well out of it.
I know that I'd appreciate something like this... I have 4x A6 projectors sitting on the bench which require housings for weather proofing when I can find the time.

As to the rest of the bike... Frame rails are a bit chunky, but form follows function. I reckon it could also lose the belly pan.
