I strangely find this "cool" looking, but can anyone tell me what it is? Lol

It's Silhouette (Japan) bodywork.

Very lush stuff. And pricey!

Looks similar to Silhouette alright, I've one on my bike (not the same shape as that, but is a Silhouette product)

On further looks, I'm not so sure it is Silhouette. Can you post a pic of the inside of the nose to show the fibreglass weave. I think it's just an endurance replica.

Rhory had a similar nose on one of his bikes. Silhouette noses are out there, often copied but never to the same quality/standard.
