Anybody recognize this bike?

I work in a place that ships stuff from overseas (over-simplification of what I do), and a guy came in our office this morning who drove 14 hours from IL to pick up this bike in person. That may not seem weird but I've never seen that happen, ever. Nobody picks up their crap in person and pays in person, but this guy was dedicated. This is a picture of the bike, just got off one of the container ships here in port. Anybody recognize it? I was just wondering, as this guy spent a lot of money and time getting it over here.

Ducati -ish? Maybe?

Inline four so probably Japanese. What's known as a "street fighter". A couple years ago guys were pulling all the fairings off their bikes and doing what you see there. Usually they were used for stunt bikes.

My guess Aprillia Tuono w/ aftermarket headlight.

Cylinders are packed with heroin.
