motoX SV! Anyone have info on this masterpiece?

I have had this picture for years and now I have the desire to build something



This is what i have to work with: an xr600r, sv650, klx650, dr350, kx250, (not 1098!)

DO you mean like a Chinese bike? That looks sv all the way. It is import in a way (italian).

hmm zaniolo, they like a mini company of ducati or someone like that?

I remember seeing this a while ago. Ive always wondered why you dont see any highly modified DL650s which you would imagine could be beefed up well, but I havent. Maybe Zaniolo juts make the seat? I think it was a home made jon IIRC. I cant fidn anything on advrider where I'm sure I saw it.

However, mentioning Ducati reminds me of this

That was available as a kit a few years back but there's no trace of them since then.
The tank is moulded round the airbox with the filter exposed, my only question is the rear shock linkage as there is not much travel available because of the clearence in the swing arm to the shock, this would make it a bit unbalanced front to rear as a crosser, better to fit road rubber and stiffen the front to make a decent useable supermoto!
