Pretty sure this is one of Robakun's old LC-conversion bikes. I think he called it "Yamamix"
The dyno sheet from Oshimo's place is also a clue that it was likely Rob's build.

If I didn't buy a long wanted TDR last year I would be all over this one.

Yep, angry bumblebee just taking a break in front of the garage door.

Just a footnote: the current seller is not the original builder (Robert) but it seems he did an update on it with new paint/graphics and some other bits (which he refers to as a "restoration").  Robert had a fleet of modified bikes like this one, many with LC conversions similar to this, but he sold them off about 4-6 years ago.
