        Possible that it could have been created in a thread, over on "Other Bikes" .  :)

       
        Kinda Like "The Amalgam: 1972 CB450 frame, 2014 cbr500r motor." by jag767 did.

        Like to see the build on That one too.  8) Not knocking the ol' SOHC4s, just saying that there's nothing wrong with "Shaking Things Up A Bit" now and then.  ;D

Front wheel is a BMW (and others) adventure bike wheel. The unusual arrangement allows a spoked wheel with a tubeless tire. From what little I have read they are a bear to true.
I don't know enough about sportbikes to get a fix on the motor.  inline 4 cyl water cooled.

Yup, I had looked into it. I think the spoke pattern is cool. Ones I found were $1700 using a stock hub. Look closely on how the spoke meets the lip, it's different.

There are a couple of manufacturers (aside from BMW) that make aftermarket spoked tubeless rims.  All of them are a wee bit pricey but great in that you reduce weight and get modern rubber.
